Making connections
Jonah (drawing a picture of mommy): "Here's mommy's eyes, and mommy's hair, and mommy's teeth, and mommy's legs, and mommy's penis....." The funny thing about this is that he knows I don't have a penis, and tells me, "Mommy doesn't have a penis. She has a pocket for making babies." I think he was just trying to get my goat.
The picture was pretty cool- lots of circles and straight lines. He looked at it when he was done and told me it looked like me!
This morning at breakfast, Sam asked which color spoon he wanted to use. He took out all the colors. He asked Jonah if he wanted the dark blue spoon, and Jonah said he wanted the "morning blue" spoon. (opposite of dark is morning!)

That's just my cheeks!
Babysitter (Katie): Is that grapes in your cheeks, Jonah?
Jonah: No Katie, that's just my cheeks!
Jonah: No Katie, that's just my cheeks!

Making connections
Daddy (reading Lightship book): this boats has lights on it.
Jonah: what are those called?
Daddy: they call them lanterns
Jonah: like in the pumpkin!
Mommy and Jonah are at the library for story hour.
The librarian is reading a book Jonah has never seen before about a horse giving rides to animals who fall off of the horse's back. Jonah calls out, "They are gonna want another ride!!!" The librarian says, "Someone has seen this book before!" (he hadn't!)
Today out of the blue, Jonah says, "Necklace like you wear around your neck sounds like Nicholas, like Nick and Maisy".

Watch My Lips
Jonah has been calling his new teacher Karen "Perrin" (Juliet's mom).
He can't really hear the difference, so I've been saying to him, "watch my lips... KKK-aren". He then says, "Perrin". Tonight, listening to him over the monitor, he said, "Watch my lips... PERRIN!"
Too cute.

From the mind of a 2-year-old
Jonah: You used to say "sun bubba" when you were a baby
Me: And now you're a big boy, what do you say?
Jonah: Sun butter!
Jonah (pauses): But you can still say "sun bubba"
Me: OK
Mommy: Look, it's a bulldozer
Jonah: It's kind of like a bulldozer. It's a front-end loader
Jonah: that's daddy's power drill! It's a real power drill. This is Jonah's power drill. It's pretend.
