Just Jack

My little man's been cracking us up, as usual...enjoy these little snippets, why don't you?

*****

While organizing train track pieces with his daddy, Brad informed him that a piece didn't fit with another piece.  Jack's response?

"I submit that it does."

A phrase he learned from his daddy, no doubt.  But we were pretty impressed that he used it correctly:)

Jack and Daddy ran up to Walgreens the other night to pick up a prescription.  On the way home, they were playing a game they call "favorite things."  Apparently, Brad asked Jack what Daddy's favorite things were.  Jack came up with this list:

medicine
food
red lights and green lights

Too funny!

*****

Before heading off to work the other day, Brad asked Jack to "be a good boy for mommy."  As Jack gave kisses and hugs and waved goodbye, he shouted, "Be a good daddy!"

The following is a conversation I observed between Jack and Hannah:

Jack: Hannah, you came out of mommy's belly.  That must've been fun!

Hannah: {crickets}

Jack:  I know...it took a really long time, huh?

Hannah: {crickets}

(He didn't seem to mind her lack of response in the least, thank goodness.)

*****

While clarifying what he wanted for dinner, Jack told me that he wanted "regular noodles.  Not other noodles.  Those are not my favorite.  I just want regular noodles, Mama."  Meaning, buttered noodles instead of noodles with spaghetti sauce.  Got it.  Coming right up!

The other morning, Hannah Bear was a bit fussy, and I must have said something to Jack like, "She did not like that."

He chimed in with, "Not one little bit.  She did not like it, not one little bit."

I knew it came straight from a book I've read to him, but I couldn't place it right then.  I thought I'd ask Jack.

Without even stopping to think about, he replied, "The Cat in the Hat."

Right you were, my smart little man.

Because one day he'll say these words correctly, and I'll want to cry, I'm noting them hear so I can always remember...

mogurt = yogurt
bringrilla = umbrella
