Jack is a funny, funny kid. I think he knows it, too. He has said quite a few funny things (which probably won’t seem funny once I type them out) and I feel like I need to document them somewhere, so here we go. I’ll try to toss in some T-bone here and there.
1. First things first. Jack has been watching loads of Madagascar. He calls me Gloria. I’m going to continue to tell myself that it’s because she is the only female member of the group. Jack prefers to be called Melman these days. Every day (and night) before nap time and bed, Melman will say, “Good night, Gloria, I love you.” To which I am supposed to reply, “I love you, too, Melman.” Jon has become Alex and Tommy is now Rico.
2. Jack’s favorite line from the movie is the penguins when they say, “Just smile and wave, boys, just smile and wave.” So, that’s what he does to EVERYONE we pass. Just smile and wave, boys.
3. We were over at a friend’s house on Sunday enjoying a lovely bbq. They have a small, rabbit shaped planter on their back patio. Jack was running full speed (like he was landing an airplane) until he stumbled upon the bunny. He squatted down low to pet the ceramic planter and said, “You are a wonderful bunny.”
4. Here’s Tommy.
He’s gooey. But the poor fellow has an ear infection and when we went to the dr. to have him checked out, she nicked his ear while trying to clear out some wax. There was blood and plenty of it, so I gave him a pass today when it came to wiping his nose and chin. He had been through enough.
5. Jon and I were talking about his cousins who ran the Boston Marathon on Monday. I was reading off their time splits and we were amazed that Colby was really spot on w/ his times, running each 5k in about 22-25 minutes (if memory serves). Jon excitedly said, “Wow, now that’s consistency.” Jack looked up at us from what ever he was doing and replied, “Consistency makes me HAPPY!!”
6. We were having yak tonight for dinner. Yakburgers, to be specific. As I was grilling them, Jon was out front w/ the boys. Some neighbors walked by w/ their daughter in a wagon. I asked Jack if he wanted some cheese on his burger. He totally ignored me, looked at the girl and said, “Hey! You wanna share my yakburger with me?”
Just smile and wave, boys.
7. Jack thinks that Tommy’s crib is his UPS truck and he uses it to make deliveries to the airport. Tommy doesn’t seem to mind.
8. They’re funny and I love ‘em.
Okay, that first picture of Tommy I think is the first one where I thought he looked SO MUCH like Jack!
Adorable boys! Great to be saving these little gems. Talking toddlers is simply The. Best.
