-James at dinner pointed to his cornbread muffin and said, "it's the Epcot ball!"
-James at dinner asked me, "what was your favorite part of the day?"
-Jack was about to put on a 'play' for us. He began by saying, "no eating or drinking in the theater, and please, no flash photography." (maybe a bit too much Disney World!)
-I picked up the boys from camp and on the way home James said, "Jack, how was your day?" Jack, "it was good." James, "what was your favorite part of the day?" Jack, "playing with the balls.
-Jack to me, "You're the girl I love most. And then Emma is second. But I wouldn't tell that to Emma, because then she might not want to marry me. We're still in love, you know?! When am I going to see Emma next?"
-James came running over to us with a styrofoam peanut in his hand and said with more enthusiasm than EVER, "This is AWESOME!!!" Then he asked, "what is this?" We said, "a styrofoam peanut." He said in an enthusiastic Grover sounding voice, "A PEANUT??"
-Jack has been nervous about swim lessons. His first lesson was today. It was raining though, so class was moved indoors to the gym for water safety talk (no water time). Jack said later to me, "If it rains tomorrow and we have to go to the gym again, that will be my greatest success!"
-Jack said in a very forgiving tone, "Mom, I'm a little embarrassed to were underwear with things like Diego and Cars on it." Me, "oh, you don't like those anymore?" Jack, "well, I'd rather red ones, or ones with stripes...ones without characters." (he's growing up...oh I can't take it!)
-Jack is amazing at checkers. He and I were playing a few games and I was getting tired of playing. He said, "Mom, you wanna play again?" Me, "no." He said, "why not?" Me, "because you're kicking my butt!" Jack, "come on, I'll go easy on you this time!"
-Jack was playing Jason in checkers (and winning). I asked him, "Jack, how are you so good at checkers?" He whispered in my ear, "you know how I do it? You just tell the person, 'you're so good,' then BAM you start to win!"
-Jack asked Jason and I dead seriously, "can I please have an iPhone for my birthday?" About 30 minutes later in an unrelated conversation between Jason and I, Jason used the word 'yearn' when referring to something he wanted. Jack piped in and said, "Yearn means you really want something." Jason said, "yes Jack, good job!" Jack said, "I learned that from Martha Speaks." After a minute of silence, he said, "And I really yearn for an iPhone!"
-Jason was having a conversation with Jack (or, a debate really) on why it's okay to kill the hornworms that are eating our tomato plant. Jason said, "in nature animals kill other animals." Jack said, "yes, but we have people brains and we can just eat plants." Jason, "but we kill the plants when we eat the plants." Jack, "but we can eat just part of the plant and still let it grow...but we can't kill just part of the hornworm." Jason finally relented to Jack's argument to just pull them off rather than kill them.
