The other day, Jack wanted a banana after his dinner. He happily ate nearly all of it, save for the last bite, when he said, "No more banana." Then he looked at me and said, "Dat was a good banana!"
----------------------------
It looks like Jack is starting to pretend. When I got home from work this week, the extra crib mattress Jack uses as a trampoline was on it's side and Bunky and Jo-Jo were sitting on the edge. He looked at me and said, "Dats a train!" And I guess Bunky and Jo-Jo were his first passengers!

My Kid is Hilarious!
No one makes me laugh more than Jack. He's just ridiculous. Today, we had our music class. And he had me cracking up almost the entire class. On the way there, we passed a pond that was frozen over.
Jack: There's no turtles!
Me: Nope. You're right.
Jack: I don't see 'em.
We arrive at music class and another mom, who was sick last week, shows up with her kids. The teacher asked her how she was doing. . .
Teacher: Are you feeling better?
Mom: Yes. Much better. Thank you!
Teacher: That's great.
Jack: I'm so glad.
I'm not sure if he knew that what he was saying matched the context perfectly or if he just got lucky but later in the class, he definitely didn't match the context when he turned to me and said,
"I love pandas!"
I was puzzled having not remembered ever showing him a picture of a panda. Later in the class, the teacher started singing one of the usual songs.
Teacher (singing): Everyday is special, in it's own way. Come on, everybody, let's celebrate today.
She then started to go into the day's theme about colors.
Teacher: What day is today? (she was looking to introduce the color unit.)
Jack: Special!
Other than that, he had me laughing as he threw his hands in the air and shouted, "Hooray!" and when he finally got rid of his shyness about bringing class materials back to the teacher. After depositing the drumsticks into the bag, he decided to give himself a little pat on the back by yelling, "Yay for Jack!" My little narcissist!

Buzzy Butt and Other Stories
Dani is really starting to show her little personality already. She's a very happy little girl and she is pretty easy going in most regards. It's a night and day switch from the way she was the first month of her life, when she was hurting from her allergy unbeknownst to us. Since then, she's been great. Happy, pretty easy (we'd probably consider her very easy if we didn't have TWO kids to chase around!), sweet and snuggly. She likes to interact with you and does her best to talk. She also is a girl who knows what she wants.
She likes to eat dinner with us, even though she can't partake in the eating part. If she's awake, we bring her bouncy chair to the table so she can feel part of the family. She likes to watch Jack and talk to both of us and be talked to. This weekend, we moved Jack out of his high chair and into a booster seat. He now sits to my right, so Dani was left on my left all by herself. I did my best to interact with both equally but apparently I was spending too much time with Jack. I heard Dani start to squawk (she does this little half cry have annoyed yell that we call her 'squawk'). I looked over at her. Her little brow was furrowed and she looked a little annoyed. Once I turned to her and said "hi", she gave me her big goofy grin. Looks like she's figuring out how to communicate what she wants already.
This morning, she was eating breakfast with us and I had turned the vibrate function on her bouncy seat on. She was as happy as could be, talking with me and then all of a sudden, she stuck her little lower lip out and started to pout. She looked like she was about ready to cry any moment when I realized her the vibrate function had turned itself off. I leaned over, turned it on and she was all grins!! Who needs words??

He Knows What He Wants
Jack: Mommy, want truck stickers.
Me: We don't have anymore of those. But we have other ones and you're going to like them.
Jack: I gonna like trucks!
----------------------------------------
Jack: Wanna kiss Dani!
Me: Okay, give her a kiss.
Jack (leaning in towards her): Here it comes!!
Me: We don't have anymore of those. But we have other ones and you're going to like them.

My Polite Guy
Jack: Mommy, want the blocks.
Me: These ones?
Jack: Yes please.
Me: Okay, what now?
Jack: Open it please.
I open the Duplo tub.
Me: Here you go, buddy.
Jack: (taking blocks out) Just don't throw 'em!
At least I know he's listening to me!
He seems to be copying my phrases all the time these days. Yesterday, he started kicking as I was trying to put his pjs on after his bath. "JACK!" I yelled. He looked at me and yelled, "What the heck!!??"

Children's Museum
Car fun! 
Playing music
Say "cheese"!
Jack enjoyed saying the shapes and colors and then moving all the pieces around.I've been behind with my posting. Just before I returned to school, I took Jack to the Kohl's Children's Museum. We had a really nice time. Jack really liked the car room, the music room and the water room. No surprises there! He did pretty well with the other kids running around. He stayed back and watched for awhile but then jumped in after the other kids finished. He was very patient and seemed to enjoy himself. I think the museum will be perfect when he's about 3 or so but it was still a great visit and a fun way to spend quality time before returning to work!
