Funny kid

I am going to get back to catching up, but I have to write down some of the funny things Jones has said recently. I don't want to forget a thing!

  • The first time he saw me nursing Anna Joy, he looked shocked then screamed "Oh gosh! She's eating your arm!"
  • One time he grabbed my pump, walked it over to me and said "Here mama, it's time to get the milk out of your belly".
  • Anna Joy rarely cries, and when she does it is usually because she is hungry. One afternoon she was fussing and Jones said "Baby yister is hungry. She wants a chicken nugget!".
  • The other day he heard something outside and stopped dead in his tracks. He looked at me and whispered "Did you hear that? I think its Super Man". A few seconds later he heard the noise again (a UPS truck) and he loudly said "Oh no, it's just a truck" then started playing again.
  • He is working on his initial /f/ words in speech.  The other night at dinner Trey and I were trying to get him to practice some words like he did in therapy that morning. He held up both arms and said "I did that this morning. I NOT do it again".
  • One morning while getting him dressed he looked in the mirror and said "I look so awesome. I am really handsome".
  • One night when I was home alone with the kids and going through an exceptionally difficult time getting him to go to bed, he interrupted my pleas to say "Grandaddy asleep, Lita asleep, baby yister asleep, Lala asleep, Henry asleep, Niten (Kristen) asleep, Uncle Adam asleep, Jesus asleep. Everyone asleep. But not Jones! Jones wide awake!!" Dear me.
There are so many stories I could tell. He is so hilarious and keeps us in stitches every day. He is strong-willed and oh so wild, but he seriously cracks me up daily. He is starting to obey better and we are all starting to enjoy our time together more and more. He is fun to hang out with these days! Age two made me cry a lot, but 3 is looking promising.  He is potty-trained, a big brother and starting a new 'big boy' class in the fall....three things he is proud of!

Love this boy more than life.
