Heard around here lately

Jax calls his pointer finger his 'poinky' finger.

He was using the tape measure to try and see how tall I was.  He said, "Mommy, you're like 60 and a half!" Who gave my 3-yr-old permission to use 'like' in a sentence?

Emerson is quite the encourager and often says, "Way to go, Mommy!  That's the spirit!"  I KNOW she didn't hear this from me.

This week we were driving one of our babysitters home when Jax saw a U.S. flag in front of a house.  He yelled, "Look over there!  It's the flag of LOTS OF STAIRS OF COMERICA!

When Emerson gets out of the bath, she likes to jump in our bed and grab a book from my bedside table.  One night she asked Daddy to read it to her.  It just happened to be Babywise.  That was quite a few months ago.  Well last week she jumps in bed alone, grabs Babywise, and proceeds to say: "The parents decide when the baby naps, NOT the BABY." Hahaha!  Way to go, my little scheduled baby!

This week at lunchtime, Emerson included this in her prayer: "And God, thank you for the people of the North.  Thank you for the Vikings."
