The things kids say...

Thanks to Ethan, Jonah has recently become a Jazz fan. And it is the cutest thing to watch... Ethan & Jonah yelling at the TV. And Jonah REALLY gets into it! Yelling things like, "Get the rebound!" or "No foul, ref!" They even have their own 'high-five' during the games... silly boys.

So this morning Jonah decided to draw pictures of the players with their jersey numbers... constantly asking who's number is what, etc. He was even going as far as drawing pictures of the opposing team. Wanting to draw Tracy McGrady, an African-American player, he asked me what he looked like. I told him he was dark-skinned. With that, he responded, "Dark-skinned, huh? So did he have to ride in the back of the bus a long time ago?"

Children really are sponges!

Yet another reminder of how our children soak in everything we say...

It was my night to do the nightly ritual with Jonah... read books and tuck him in. As we walked into the room, I asked him what book he wanted to read. He started looking at his library of books to see what the book du jour would be. As most of you know, Jonah is a VERY observant and keen little boy. Noticing a book out of place, this is what he had to say about it...

"Mommy, Papa never puts the books back in their place. How come he never puts the books back in their place? Doesn't he know the books don't put themselves back???"

Yes, he must have heard Mommy yammer about Papa not ever return anything to its place.
