It's No Problem

Like any kid, Conor goes through random catch phrases he picks up and then repeats endlessly. These have included "What happened?" (said with intense drama in his voice) and "What you said?" (upon which we say "excuse me?" Conor rolls his eyes and again with intense drama, says: "What did you say?!?") Note that drama is key for him right now.
So today he came up with a new one: "It's no problem." In Conor's mind this is obviously the perfect excuse for any desire or behavior. For example:

1. After lunch with Mark and baby Wade Bishop, Andy took Conor to the car. Conor: "Dad, I want to stay at the Bishops. Dad: "No, you have to go home to take a nap. Conor: "No, Dad, I can stay with Mark and help with Wade, it's no problem."
2. It's nap time (or so I think) and I hear Madeleine crying. I go into our room where she's sleeping in her crib and Conor is standing next to it looking very suspicious. Before I can even say anything he says: "I just spoke very quietly. I didn't wake her up. It's no problem."
3. We get ready to go out to the backyard to play. Me: "Conor, put on your shoes." Conor: "No, I don't need them. It's not wet so it's no problem."

The funny part is that my mother says that all the time and while she hasn't been here for more than a month, Conor obviously picked up on it. Another reminder for me that he's like a little fly on the wall that hears everything without you realizing it!
