Mr. Rogers Impression

Big Boy Underpants

I forgot to mention but Jonah has been trained for pee for about 2 months now. He still like to do poops in a diaper but wears underwear the rest of the day. What a big boy!

Compliments will get you everywhere

Lately, Jonah has realized that when you want something, it helps to be charming.
Last week, I got my hair cut and whenever Jonah wanted something, he'd say, "I love your haircut Mommy!"
Tonight, since it's been a while since the haircut, after he was in his crib, he was calling out for me to come and cover him up (again). I came in and he said, "Mommy, I really like your pants." (I was wearing my same old pajamas!)

Building bridges (and roads)

Jonah and I built a road using cardboard blocks. He was pretty happy with it, but wanted to make it longer. I said "Go ahead and add some more blocks to the end." He came back a minute later and said "There aren't any blocks the right shape." He was right -- we had used all the blocks that fit together to make the road. There were other blocks around, but as he pointed out, they would leave a bump in the road.

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

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

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