J went to the potty. Good job! J then requested 2 m&m’s.
Mommy: What color m&m’s do you want?
J: one blue and one orange.
Mommy: go Tennessee! (thinking Big Orange)
J: No, my name is (insert first, middle, and last name here)!
J: Don’t call me Tennessee (spoken as “Ten-C”). My name is (insert first, middle and last name here).
J: You can call me (insert first, middle and last name here)!
Mommy: okay (like I didn’t name you, kid! I knew your name before you were born. It might have been your Nana that taught you to say your name, but I wrote it on your birth certificate!)

Daddy stopped at Sonic on his way home and brought us milkshakes. As soon as he pulled into the driveway, the boys ran out to get hugs. J got his hug and ran back inside because, “I’m so cold!”
I have been stacking the bags of garbage in the garage lately instead of walking them around to the outside garbage can. As he was running inside, I was gathering up part of the garbage and took it to the garbage can. I came back around the side of the house and B told me that the house door had closed and that J was screaming. I ran to him and here was the conversation:
J: I want you!
Mommy: What happened?
J: the door closed on my fingers and hurt me. I don’t like to be hurt.
Mommy: Want me to kiss your fingers?
J: no, yeah.
Mommy at J’s instructions kisses each finger that hurts.
Mommy: Does that feel better?
J: yeah. C, let’s go outside and see the log skidder. (There are construction vehicles out back preparing the ground for a new neighborhood. I guess my kisses are magic.)

I asked Daddy - You are in such a good mood this evening. Milkshakes, tossing the kids in the air as they laugh… What’s up, Daddy? (I mentioned that as he was on the way home, I called him to let him know that I scheduled a babysitter for tomorrow evening. Did this cause his sudden happy mood?!) Daddy responded:
I didn’t get fired.
I didn’t get a raise.
I’m not having an affair.
I don’t have another family.
I don’t have other kids.
I’m just glad to see you. (Aaww, sweet man and good Daddy!)

Mommy: Who was Noah?
J: He had a neat boat.
Mommy: Did Noah let the animals on his boat?
J: (Smiling really big) YEAH!
J: Noah was a grownup.
J: My class can go with Noah. C’s can’t.

This morning we were watching Leap Frog’s Talking Words Factory. It is about learning how to spell words, learning to read. I was talking to C about Tad, the main character. Here was part of our discussion:
Mommy: Tad knows his letters. Do you know your letters?
C: yeah
Mommy: Tad can’t read. Can you read?
C: no
Mommy: You are just like Tad. You can learn to read along with Tad!
C: How do I get into the tv so I can go to (to the Talking Words Factory) with Tad?
