Jack is really something these days. And by "really something," I mean a joy, a genius, a goof, a challenge, a mystery, a blessing, and a firecracker.

On beverages:
Jack: Mom. I'm a grown-up now!
Me: Oh, you are? Wow!
Jack: So, I'd like an iced Americano.
Me: Uh...no, that's just what Mommy drinks. It's not for you.
Jack: Oh. Well, then I'm just a kid again.
Me: Oh. Um, OK.
Jack: So, now that I'm a kid again, can I have some chocolate milk?

On bubbles and soccer:
Jack: "Mom! You have to pop them! Don't forget to KICK them, like soccer!"
Me: "Right! You know how to play soccer!"
Jack: "Mom. Soccer is easy. If someone has the ball, you just KICK KICK KICK until you get it from them."

On bedtime:
Me: "Jack, you have ten minutes until bedtime."
Jack: "But MOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, I didn't get to play with my toys!"
Me: "Yes, you did. You played with them all day."
Jack: "Can I have just a few couple of minutes???"
Me: "You can have two minutes while I get your bath ready. Then, it's bed time."
Jack: "Well...How about this?"
Me: [thinking: Holy shit! He's negotiating!]
Jack: "How abouuuuuuuuuut, I have ELEVEN minutes?"

On Sawyer:
"Mom. I need BUNK BEDS. I will sleep on the top and Sawyer can sleep on the bottom. Because we need to do EVERYTHING together."

Hope someone keeps you on your toes today.
Talk soon,
Heather
