This post is mostly for me. Because I don't journal about my kids. And Jack was so stinkin' adorable tonight. In a funny way, in a sweet way, in a cute way, in a stinker way....
Jack-ism #1
I told him to watch Paisley for a minute (literally a minute) while I ran downstairs to get her pajamas out of the dryer. As I was coming back up, she started screaming. I asked him what happened.
Jack: "Nuffing. She just started crying."
Me: "Nothing? You didn't do anything to her?"
Jack: "I just did this!" (started doing his best dance move, the one with his elbows sticking out)
Me: "And did you hit her or kick her while you were doing that? Did you bump her accidentally?"
Jack: "No! I just was dancing and she didn't like it so she started crying."
Me: (holding back my laughter) "Jack, you won't be in trouble. Please tell me the truth."
Jack: "I won't be in trouble? I won't have a time-out or get my bottom spanked?"
Me: "Nope, you won't be in trouble. Please tell me what happened."
Jack: "I picked her up and she fell. I think she has a headache now."
Two things hilarious about this story. 1. He thought he could pick her up. He's only got about 10 pounds on her. I'm guessing she didn't get too far from the ground. And 2. He thought that saying she didn't like his dance moves was a realistic reason why she was crying. Ha! Oh, Jack.

He came upstairs as I was rocking Paisley and wanted to sing with me. We sang "You Never Let Go" and "Happy as the Sun." When we finished that one he looked up at me and said, "I like having a baby sister." Ahhhhhh that makes my heart so happy!

He brought me an apple from the kitchen and said, "Mommy, I washed this and dried it for you. Eat it now." I had already eaten one apple today (and I'm pretty sure the rule is "an apple a day keeps the doctor away; two apples a day gives you bowel issues"), but how could I turn him down? He was being so kind!

He said, "Mommy, what does 'Unnnnnnnn' start with?"
Me: "Unnnnnn?"
Jack: "Yeah. Unnnnnnnn. What letter does that start with?"
Me: "Um....uh.....the letter U?"
Jack: "No, Unnnnnnnnnnn! What does it start with?"
Me: "N?"
Jack: "No! Unnnnnnnnn! Like 'ooooonion!'"
Me: "Oh, onion? That starts with O."
Jack: "No it doesn't! Unnnnnnnnnnn!!!!"
I still have no idea what he was asking.
Jack-ism #5
It was time to go to bed. I told him to start going potty while I got his blanket out of the dryer (most of our clothes are in the basement/dryer). I was downstairs for maybe 20 seconds this time. I came back up and he told me he had already gone potty.
Me: "Jack, there's no way you already went potty."
Jack: "Yeah I did! I went in that potty right there!" (points to the bathroom)
Me: "Jack, I know you didn't go potty."
Jack: "Yeah I did!"
Me: "Are you just teasing?"
Jack: "No, I'm serious!"
Me: "Jack, are you telling me the truth?"
Jack: "Yes, I'm telling the truth!"
Me: "Really? Because God knows the truth. And I'll ask Him."
Jack: "I'm just teasing, I didn't go potty yet."
Boom. And that's how it's done. :)
