Oh, I see what you're talking about.

Jim and I were having a conversation in the front seat of the car, and Jim said something along the lines of, "I think this is the right neighborhood."

Jack, from the backseat, cried out, "No, not neighborhood, ROBIN HOOD!"

And that settled that.

Jack Quotables

Jack ran away from us in Target and disappeared long enough for me to get pretty anxious. When I finally found him (well, when he found me) I tried to calmly explain how Mommy feels sad and scared and worried when I can't find him. Jack listened with wide eyes and replied, "But Mommy, Jesus keeps me safe."

We're big fans of our church's kids' program and the teachers. Jack memorized his first verse! According to Jack it is: Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Problems 3:5

With the family before dinner at Carino's (Kristen's anniversary, once again, spent without Jim...I think we're 3 out of 10 for spending the day together and not with high school kids.)


Typical.

And this one (my personal favorite).

Clarification

TCU is in Fort Worth, my brother and his wife are alums, so either they or my Mom are the likely culprits who taught Jack this catchy phrase while we were in TX two weeks ago. I hadn't heard it before today. Oh, and TCU is an arch rival of BYU's football team.

Thomas, eating machine

Overheard

Jack walks into the kitchen and says, "Horned Frogs! That's my team!"

Another Quotable

Jack's been practicing the "Oh, Okay." with various inflections for a few weeks now, which cracks us up. Who knew you could use those same two words to express so many different emotions. But yesterday, he busted out his latest favorite phrase. We were explaining something or other of importance to him, and his response:

"Oh...I see what you're talking about." (drag out the "Oooooh", and the "I" and you'll get an idea of his charming two and a half year old inflection.)
