Day 233

May 17, 2011

Jacobisms:

He puts his hands out to the side and up in the air as he's asking, "Where our paintbrushes?"
  
We were talking about the sun going down at one point. 
"Sun goes down, den stars come out. Stars light up the sky. Like at Grammy and Grampa's house."
"That's right," I said. "Grammy and Grampa live out in the country so you can see lots of stars out there. And you got to see them when we were there. Remember the night we went sledding on the Pabst Smear and then you had a bath."
"Sponge bath," he said.
"Yep, a sponge bath. Then you got to go outside and see some stars coming out."
"Big Dip and Little Dip."
"The Big Dipper?"
"Uh-huh."
"Yea, there's the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper." 

At the park today, he's picking up rocks.
"Gacob love rocks. Gacob have a collection." 

I love it when that kid comes out with the words that seem too big for a two and a half year old. It just goes to show that you should use whatever language you want and kids will get the meaning of it through its context. They are brilliant little beings, their brains just taking everything in. The good, the bad and the ugly. 

Went to the library this morning ("Gacob love going to library"). Biked to the park this afternoon - the day turned out nicer than "they" had predicted which was a pleasant surprise. Late day for Fraser. At least having daylight so late in the evenings makes it feel better for me.
