I'm a good listener!

We got a laminating machine today. Jonah was so excited about it and wanted to touch it and the laminating paper, etc. I told him a few times to stop touching it all and then I told him he wasn't being a good listener when he kept touching it.

He was talking to himself in bed after I put him down so i went up to see what it was about. He is now pretty much trained for pee in the toilet, so he was saying, "Mommy, I made a pee pee, please change my diaper!" So then when I took him out he said this:

"Mommy, I am a good listener because I didn't touch the lemonade machine... but Grace is not a good listener since she took off her shoes and socks when her Mommy told her to keep them on!" (While visiting Grace and Carter and Rachael and Dan, Grace did do this!)

Some Quotes

While listening to Chicken Soup With Rice song, he hears "I will go away to far off Spain"... He says, "Where's Spain?" I say, "It's far away. You have to take a plane to get there." "You want to go to SPAIN RIGHT NOW!!!!"


"Mommy calls you Honey, like the honey you squish into your tea."

"They are called Sea Horses because they can see underwater."

Spoons

One morning I was making oatmeal for Jonah and I offered him a choice of spoons. I pulled out a yellow one, an orange one, a green one, and a blue one. Not interested. I found one more -- a dark blue one. He asked me what color it was. I said "This one is *dark* blue". He said "I want the *morning* blue spoon". It took me a second to realize he meant "light blue".

Jonah's first attempt at independently spelling his name

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!)
