Conversations with Jonah

Yesterday, the kids and I were on our way to the movie theater to see a free movie. While I was driving, Jonah said he had never been to the movie theater before. I told him, yes you have, it was last year when you were 3 years old. Then we talked about how he was 4, or 4 1/2 really, and getting closer to 5. I asked him if he wanted to be 5 or stay 4. After a few moments of silence, I thought he wasn't going to answer. Then, all of a sudden, he starts saying really loudly, "Hey, God! Can you turn me back to 3? :pause: Thank You!"

??huh??

Oookay. I laughed to myself and didn't say anything to Jonah about his request. We started talking about other things.

Then at the theater, while waiting for the movie to start, I told a friend what he said and since Jonah was listening, he replied, well, you didn't say to God not to turn me 3. Um, no, I did not. LOL.

And oh my word, I don't know if I should even share this because I am embarrassed, but while I was sitting here typing this up, Jonah came to me and said there was something "new" with his underwear. "Oh, really? What is that?", I asked. He told me toilet paper. "You have toilet paper on your underwear?" "No, not on my underwear, in my underwear" and pointed to his crotch.

??huh?? :S

OK, I tried to be as calm as I could, but then I went and checked to see what exactly he was talking about. All I could think was do 4-year-olds already obsess with size and enhancement?! Thankfully, instead of finding a bulge, I saw a tiny, probably 1 square of toilet paper, ball of tissue. Yes, it's in the front. I have no idea why. I asked him and his answer was "because I wanted to be silly."

Oh, the adventures of parenthood!

My crazy boy!

Making "guns" and weapons out of vacuum attachments. I don't think it is possible to stop boys from doing that sort of thing. Ugh.


He almost always closes his eyes and makes weird faces when I try to take his picture. It is really annoying when I want to get a good picture of him.
