Same & Different

.
While I was changing Ronnie's diaper, I was talking to James about how he and Ronnie look so much alike, but James doesn't think so...

James: "I am bigger and Ronnie is smaller. My poop is brown, Ronnie's is yellow."

So, there you have it...

The Age of 20 Billion Questions

.
If there CAN be a question asked, there WILL be - because James is 4...

A Christian Children's Fund commercial comes on...
James: "Mommy, why is the boy stuck in an unforgiving world?"

Career Choices

James did a great job at wrestling practice, so we gave him a prize: Life the board game. Part way through the game he had enough degrees to get a promotion.

Me: "So, which job do you want: principal or superintendent?"
James: "Super Nintendo."

Learning About Colors

James came home from school...
James: "Daddy, guess what? Red and yellow make green."
Jesse: "No, blue and yellow make green."
After going back and forth a few times,
Jesse says: "Think what you want but blue and yellow make green."
...
...
...Cut to the evening...
(flush)...James comes out of the bathroom...
James: "Daddy, you were right! My yellow pee and the blue potty made green!"
Jesse: "See, I told you."

Thank you Vanish Drop-Ins for helping our son learn his colors! :o)

Pooh-isms

James and I were taking a walk and it was really windy...so I told him (in the words of Pooh): "It's Winds-Day". He thought it was funny and we kept going. As we walked the weather just kept changing (as anyone in Portland can attest to in the last week). After a few more minutes, the sun decided to come out, so James said with a smile...

"Mommy, it's Sun-Day!"

3 months...

I can't believe it...they are growing like weeds!!!

Big Mouth

So, for Jesse's birthday, I took James and a few of his friends to Amazin' Glazin' in the Sellwood area. We talked about it being a secret for Daddy's birthday, and painted a candy bowl for him. As soon as we got home...

James goes to his dad and says: "We painted a bowl for your birthday, Daddy."
