Out of the Mouth of J



Jackson continues to crack us up with the things that come out of his mouth.

Eating dinner the other night, Jackson was sampling some the salad I'd made (well, mostly the croutons, which he decided he liked).  He kept saying, "I want more coupons!" thinking that's what the croutons were called.

J has heard Corey thank me for making dinner so many times that he now says, all on his own, "thank you for making dinner!, Mom" multiple times nearly every dinner.  It's the funniest when he doesn't even like what we're eating.

With some of his birthday money, Jackson bought himself a Little Einstein's DVD, which he'd seen and enjoyed at school.  He calls it "Little I'm-stimes" every time.

He's known his days of the week for months now, and is now interested in months and dates.  He received a Story a Day book from the Shawvers for his birthday and J loves looking for the appropriate month and date each night before bed and almost always remembers on his own.  When he doesn't, he will ask, "What June is it?" (meaning what date is today?).  He also pronounces certain dates very funny - for instance, the "first" is "one-fumph" (like the dates that end in "th", but because he has a hard time with the "th", it becomes an "f" sound).

When asking what a song or book is called, he says, "What's this song/book called about?"

After we get the boys in Corey's car each morning, I give them kisses and tell J to have fun and be a good boy at school.  This morning, Jackson responded, "Be a good girl!"

He and I were talking about how we have to try to go potty before bed so that we don't wet the bed.  He mentioned that he goes in bed sometimes (very rarely, but he wears a pull-up still to avoid a big mess).  He then asked, "Does Daddy go potty in bed sometimes?"  I sure hope not!

He's quite the chatterbox and takes after his mama --- he gets home from school and doesn't stop talking until after he's in bed for the night (something I did, which my parents like to remind me about).  As exhausting as that can be, I love it because I know I'm guaranteed to hear tons of cute stuff every single day.
