Conversation in regard to his babysitter
Alexei: I need the phone.
Mama: Why do you need the phone?
Alexei: I must call Juliya.
Mama: You will see her tomorrow.
Alexei: I must call Juliya. (I must not be understanding him ;))
Mama: Use your Elmo phone.
Two minutes later.
Alexei: Hello. Juliya? Yes, I must see you now so we can play. Come over. Bye bye.
A minute later he approaches me.
Alexei: Mama, you need to open the door, Juliya is here to play with me.

Last night, no idea where or how he knew.
Alexei: Mama, I want to sit with you.
In bed getting ready to sleep.
Mama: It is bed time. You need to go to sleep.
Alexei: I want to sit with you. (I must be forgetful you see, he repeats the same thing a lot).
Mama: Okay, come on.
He pulls the covers up and look at me.
Alexei: Mama has boo boo on her shoulder?
Mama: Yes, Alexei but how did you know?
Alexei: Mama has boo boo on her shoulder you see.

Driving and leaving the house, we pass our regular coffee stop.
Alexei: Mama, I need my coffee now.

Alexei: I really feel like I need some coffee, you know, I really think so.
Mama: Listen to some music. Rock it out.
Alexei dancing in seat to some alternative song.
Alexei: Mama! Mama!
Mama:Yes?
Alexei: Stop at store, I need hot pockets.

Discussing the television.
Alexei: Mama, I want to watch Pumpkin Jack please.
Mama: Maybe after lunch.
Alexei: Here is remote.
Mama: That is not the right remote.
Alexei: Here is remote. (he is now bringing me the 2nd remote)
Mama: I need another remote.
Alexei: Here it is Mama. (He has now brought me the 3rd remote)
Mama: I need the volume remote.
Alexei: Ok. (He runs looking and amazingly find the last remote. Honestly universal should really be the answer)
Alexei: I found it! Pumpkin Jack. Pumpkin Jack.
Mama: I don't have the move down here. (2 minutes later, Alexei is standing in front of me with the dvd. Sigh)
Alexei: Here is the movie. (looking at me hopeful)
Mama: Give me a second Alexei to finish this. (working on computer)
Background: "This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, in this town we call home...." Alexei is now singing the song as he dances around holding onto the dvd case.
