There are many funny moments at our house, thanks to the little guy. Here are a few of the most recent:
This was a craft that he made at the childcare area at the gym. It was a wonder in itself that he made a craft to begin with, because he usually prefers to play with the cars etc. But when I picked him up, he said it was for me. I said ” I love it! Thank you so much! Tell me about it…” And he said “It’s me mommy! I told the lady that I have blond hair, but she only gave me yellow. But see- I made the eyes blue like mine! And they are crying because you just gave me a spanking.”
We were driving in the car and I saw that the car in front of us had a stuffed animal in the back window. I said “Look Jackson, what do you see in that window?” He said “A lion mom!” And I replied, “Yeah, it’s kind of like a lion, but it has spots. What is it?” And he said “Oh, it’s a cheeto!”
This is Jackson holding up his snap pea. He took one bite of it and then decided it looked like a slug! What do you think? Dinnertime has never been so much fun…
This last one happened just today. On the car ride home from preschool today Jackson was telling me how he was assigned the job of “line leader” today in his class. He said that this means that he is “in charge of leading the line.” When we had arrived home, I asked him to pick up his trash from the floor of the car and throw it away. He said “Momma, I told you I’m in charge of the leading the line, not picking up trash!”
