Ta-da! Jack Henry’s first real features in “Out of the Mouths of Babes!” He’s regularly putting two or more words together at a time now, though there is often a pause between then while he thinks of what he wants to say. On with the show!

Me, to Jack Henry: Why are you [...]

This is taken from a page in Hannah’s book…I enjoyed her list over the weekend, and I’m feeling like my head is full of randomness today as well, so here goes.
25. I have an unhealthy relationship with bread and butter. Knowing is half the battle, right?
24. I love how Jack Henry says “Santa” and [...]

Luke, to Bennett, who’d just dropped half a banana on the floor: “Well quick pick it up! Three second rule!”

I told Bennett that he was going to the fire station for a field trip with his preschool class. His response? “That is TOTALLY WICKED!” (He got that from “The Incredibles.”)

Luke, explaining [...]

As I was telling Bennett about how, years ago, before kids, it used to be just Daddy and me in our apartment and then in our house, he said, “I bet you were like, ‘I wish we had some kids right now!’” A minute later, as we were still discussing this childlessness phenomenon that [...]

For better than two years, Bennett hasn’t been able to say a “th” sound. My favorite example of this has always been when he says “ganks” or “gank you”. It’s adorable…I mean, I didn’t still want him saying it like that at 7, but at 4? Really cute.
This morning, at breakfast, I heard him say [...]

Time: 8am this morning
Place: Hall Bathroom
Bennett says, “Mom! I just told Luke to be really careful not to get water all over the counter today because I JUST cleaned it yesterday before Jack Henry’s party. I used this towel to wipe off the water.”
Me: “Well, thanks!” (Inside, I’m thinking, seriously? Are [...]

Luke woke up one morning with a cold and a sore throat. I asked him how he was feeling, and he gave the very grown-up response of, “Well, I’ve felt better.”

Bennett, out of the blue, ran into the office to tell Matt, “You can’t rush art!” We looked at each other like, “what??” [...]

This morning Bennett is working on some puzzles (seriously, he has such a lost look on his face half the day, due to missing Luke!), and he wanted some help with a particularly-hard 100 piece Star Wars puzzle.
He finished the frame of the puzzle, and after a few failed attempts at finding a piece that [...]

Bennett, after some tense words were exchanged with Luke: He’s acting like he’s like 8 or something! He’s so bossy!
Me (thinking to myself): Yes, 8 is old.

Luke, after a show we were watching referred to India: Mom, is that the state that’s right next to Illinois?

Bennett, out of nowhere: Mom, am I gonna be [...]

Bennett is having a BAD day today, behaviorally speaking, so I’m choosing to focus on one of his positive attributes. Deep breath…
Bennett has recently taken on a new hobby.
Some friends with kids a few years older than ours joked several years ago, when Luke was probably 2 years old, that someday, the “Stupid Police” [...]
