Songs

This is a list of songs Jonah knows all (or nearly all) the words to:

Leaving on a Jet Plane
Close Your Eyes (he'll tell you James Taylor sings this one!)
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Twinkle Twinkle
ABC's
You Say Tomato, I Say Tomato
Big Green Tractor (Jason Aldeen, Country music)

Songs he has made up:
"Upside Down Song"
"Tractor Song"
Versions of close your eyes, like, "Eat this part, it's all right to eat this part" (In place of "Close your eyes, You can close your eyes, it's all right)

Being Funny

Jonah (looking at the top of Sam's head): Daddy should get some more hair on there. Daddy should buy some.

While looking at a driver in the car next to us (male, Hispanic), Jonah says, "Look, there's Tata....NO! That's not Tata!"

Homonyms and other word plays

Today while watching the pool at the gym from above, Jonah asked what the lines in the pool were. I tried to explain the lines divided the pool into "lanes" so people could swim in straight rows. He said, "lanes, like Elaina!" (a girl in his school).


12/21/10
This evening Jonah told a knock-knock joke -- his first, and he did it correctly!:
Jonah: Knock knock
Me: Who's there?
Jonah: Cargo
Me: Cargo who?
Jonah: Car go beep beep

Disappearing oranges

This evening (ok, way after bedtime) Jonah wanted some oranges. We put six sections on his tray and ate one. I asked him how many were left and he said "five"! He ate another and said he had four left. Then at three, for some reason, he went back to six. But still, pretty good!

Word of the day...

12/8/10: HUMIDIFIER!!!

Said randomly while we were playing in the front seat of the car (one of Jonah's favorite things to do). He must've been thinking about it for a while, since we said it the night before when filling it up to put him to bed.

Happy Hanukah!

Mommy doesn't have a penis and other discoveries

Well, I guess it was bound to happen....
Today was the day. Jonah saw me getting dressed, came over and said, "Mommy has a penis". I told him I didn't have a penis, that only boys have penises. He tried to get a closer look, and then he proclaimed, "Mommy has a poopy there!"
Later in the day (hours later), he repeated to Sam that, "Mommy doesn't have a penis".

At dinner, Sam was drinking beer and Jonah asked to have some of it. Sam said no. Then moments later, Jonah saunters over to Sam's seat and said, "Hi Daddy, what are you drinking?" Ah, so smooth.
