Jack to his dad, "Is it thundering?"
Dad, "Yes."
Jack, "Is it going to rain some more?"
Dad, "Maybe."
Jack, "I'm not scared anymore."
Dad, "Why?"
Jack, "It's not thundering anymore!"
Prior to this week he had been asking questions like crazy, but no matter what your answer was it seemed like he never heard the answer he was expecting, so he would just keep asking and asking and asking and asking. This week you can answer him and it is final. Another conversation. "Mama, what are you doing?" "Making dinner Jack. What are you doing?" "I am sitting here waiting for a hot dog." And he stopped there. (Speaking of hot dogs, while we were grilling on Sunday he carried around that package of hot dogs for almost an hour. He played ball while holding it, chased bugs while holding it, and who knows what else. It cracked me up.)
And one more, just because it was funny. We were in the car on the way to a garage sale. We passed a sign that said we were entering St Louis. Dave says in a goofy voice, "Welcome to St Louis!" and Jack replied with "uh oh." (I realize this is not so funny to those of you who aren't very familiar with St Louis City. St. Louis is the most violent city in the US this year , a fact that I do not find the least bit funny.)

Tomorrow I will show you the dresser remake, it is all done and it is wonderful!
Sounds like Jack is making leaps and bounds lately with his language skills. It is amazing isn't it. I'm constantly reminded by my lil man how fast he is growing up as well. Never underestimate the comprehension capabilities of children, they know and understand more and learn so quickly--than we sometimes credit them with!
ReplyDeleteI think it's very funny that Jack's reply to was "uh oh". :)
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly is so pretty. What a great use for old buttons!
Love the butterfly. I wonder if you need something like thin cardboard to help it hold its shape. I have a 6-year old and I think he would love this project!
ReplyDeleteAren't conversations with children so fun? Well, I mean, they can be annoying sometimes, too, but mostly they are darling.
ReplyDeleteLove the butterfly.
Jack sounds like such a great kido!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the dresser!

ReplyDeleteJack sounds so cute! :) It's cool that you document all the adorable statments he makes now, so that you'll always remember them.
ReplyDeletehe's such a cutie-pie!
ReplyDeleteI *totally* get the humor in the "uh-oh". Silly guy ;)
Can't wait to see the dresser!
I love, love, love hearing all of Jack's sentences - its sounds great. And I love the uh-oh. Katrina does this too at such random times that it is pretty funny. Glad to see that Jack is having fun crafting with his momma!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute butterfly!
ReplyDeleteLove the butterfly. I've got to get the kids to do this. They'll love it.
ReplyDeleteCheers! LA
