Your Mommy’s Son
Friday, January 25th, 2008Allergies
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008So my best guess is that Jane heard somewhere, probably at school, about allergies. However, her understanding seems to be that an allergy is anything that bothers you or you don’t want at that moment in time. For example, on Saturday, she told me, “School gives me the allergy.” Additionally, when we had some friends over recently and their daughter and Ron were playing together rather loudly Jane came over to me and said, “Those two-year olds! They give me the allergy!”
Lizard Claws
Saturday, January 12th, 2008We were discussing watching a Veggie Tales video, and I suggested one. Jane said she wanted to watch something else, but was informed we were not going to watch it. She was disappointed, but then said she wanted to watch “The Lizard of Claws”

Sunday, January 6th, 2008More Janeisms
Sunday, January 6th, 2008Yesterday, during nap time, Jane complained that Ron was keeping her awake:
“Ron keeps introducing me”
Later, Mommy was reading Wynken, Blynken, and Nod to her, and at the point where the story reveals who Wynken, Blynken, and Nod are, at the climax of the book, where the kid should be getting sleepy, Jane asked brightly, referring to the illustration,
“What’s the cat’s name?”

“Daddy, why did you bring my boots downstairs?”
“Because they were upstairs.” [The master suite is the only thing upstairs]
“Oh. Daddy, I want to wear my boots.”
“Ok, you can wear your boots.”
“Daddy, I want to wear my black shoes.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah, I changed my princess shoe mind and I want to wear my black shoes now.”
Long Time No Entries!
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007Sorry, we’ve been really busy with family and birthdays.
A couple of quickies:
Today it was really windy out, and Jane said, “Boy, the wind sure is thick today.”
Her cousin Corban is visiting and was waking up from his nap. Jane asked, “When is Corban getting up?” “Soon, he was stirring when we checked on him.” “Oh. What was he making?”
Other recent fun phrases from Ron:
“Ready, set, go!” [Runs off]
When we play chase, he’ll stop, hold his hand up and say “Red light! Stop!” Then “Green light! Go!” and run off again.
“Chocolate face!”

Sunday, November 4th, 2007This morning, Jane wasn’t moving very fast. She was not keen on the idea of getting out of bed.
“Daddy, I’m feeling sick.”
“Oh, what’s wrong?”
“I’m sick. But I’m not sick in the stay in bed and lie down kind of sick.”
“Oh, what kind of sick are you?”
“I’m the walk and stand up kind of sick.”
[For the record, she was fine after breakfast.]

Thursday, November 1st, 2007“Oh, she’s wearing Elmo.”
[The story: We watch Dancing with the Stars with our kids. Last week, one of the competitors wore a yellow outfit. A blog my wife and I read, Snark Raving Mad, blogged that the competitor in question was wearing Big Bird, which we found amusing, and thought it fit. As we were laughing about that this week while she performed, Jane asked what we were laughing at. She then looked at the tv, and made her statement about Elmo (Elmo isn't wearing black in that picture). To complete the circle: last night, while handing out candy at a friend's house, a young child came by wearing an Elmo costume. ABC wouldn't let me link to the pictures in context on the DWTS page.]
