Outtakes

I have been HORRIBLE about blogging lately.  I guess it is a testament to how busy life is right now.  Seems like there is always so much to do (which is not a bad thing) that when I get a second's rest, I want to do just that--rest!  I just need to remind myself that these babies won't be babies forever and that I need to make myself record things.  I have been writing things down on pieces of paper as they happen with the intention of jotting them down in the digital world later.  Then I have to run all over the house gathering up my sheets of paper!  Anyway, here are some of the more little Jackisms.  I can't wait until there are Danisms but right now, she's quite a bit more verbally challenged than Jack! 

"Mommy, the IPad wasn't working today.  So Daddy didn't give it to me.  REALLY disappointed."

Nonny bought Jack Pop Tarts.  I used to beg Nonny to buy me Pop Tarts when I was a kid and she never did.  Jack didn't even have to ask.  Needless to say, he liked them a lot.  As he was taking bites, he apparently determined that the remaining part of Pop Tart was looking like some sort of animal.

Jack:  Now I'm gonna bite his head off.  (Bites)
Me:  Jack, what was it?
Jack:  I don't know.  Maybe a chicken.

Jack has become less and less of a milk drinker.  Before we left for Florida, he would drink only with considerable prompting.  In Florida, he finally decided that he had enough.  He walked up to each person in the room individually (Mommy, Daddy, Nonny, Poppy) and said, "This is not my favorite."

Jack has inherited my sweet tooth.  He loves cookies, cake, candy.  Anything sweet.  When we took him to Georgio's Pizza, we introduced him the the greatest dessert ever.  The Mount St. Georgio.  A sinfully delicious combination of warm cookie, ice cream, hot fudge, caramel and whipped cream.  I think it was pretty much the best day of his life.  He was eating and eating and eating and I was worried he'd get sick on something so rich. 

Me:  Jack, I think we need to take a break.
Jack:  I think we don't need to take a break!

Dani always wakes up before Jack.  She stayed downstairs when I went up to get him.  As he came downstairs, he pointed and said, "There's my Dani girl!"

------------------------------

Jack:  Are you gonna come to Grandma's house with me?
Me:  No.  I have class.
Jack:  I miss you.
Me:  Aw.  Thanks!  You're the best boy.
Jack:  I know.

Yesterday, Dani was quietly looking at books in her room.  Dani rarely does anything quietly so we really like it when it happens.  Jack walked up to her, ripped it out of her hand and as though he were a villian in some superhero comic, said, "You're never going to get your book now!  Ha Ha!"  Then he promptly threw her book into her crib.  We couldn't scold him because we couldn't stop laughing.
