On Being a Superhero:
(Before bedtime begins brushing his hair.)
Him: "There!" (he says to himself) "just like Supaman."
Him: "Look Mama, I'm the new Supaman!"
(He's playing in the open field with his friend. They have sticks that are "magical" I overhear him declare to his friends)
Him: "…And my superpower is…I make rainbows!" and swings the stick over his head.
(He and his cousin are tossing a "golden penny" into the air. It rolls on the ground and lands near the curb.):

(While sipping hot cocoa on a chilly fall morning)
Him : "My tummy is so sooo happy!" (tilts his head back and squeezes his eyes shut) "I love my cat! I love my mama and I love my tummy."
On Bedtime:

(He was going to bed and declares he's "Vewy, vewy Hungry!" I go to make him toast.)
Me: "How are you going to grow if you don't go to sleep?"
Him: "It's okay Mama, I've got these sleeping glasses that'll help me grow."m(and pulls out his toy glasses)
(Getting ready for bedtime stories he sits in his rocking chair)
Him: "You read the story. I'll be the witch in jammies over here."
On Meeting New People:
Him: "Hi! I'm Rocco."
