Me: What did you do after your nap?
Jack: I played with Luce.
Me: Were you gentle with her?
Jack: No, I was too hard on her for a while, but then I was gentle.
Me: Why were you too hard on her?
Jack: Because I wanted to.
Me: Jack, don't play with those blinds, please.
Jack: But I'm a kid, not a parent, so I don't know that I'm not supposed to play with blinds.

Christmas Conversation
Jack: Mom, Santa only comes for nice girls and boys, when kids are nice to their sisters.
Me: Are you going to be nice to your sister?
Jack: Maybe. We'll see.
Me: Are you going to be nice to your sister?

Halloween 2009
My favorite quotes of the night while trick-or-treating:"Mom! I said 'thanks'--I didn't turn around and walk away!"
...and as one neighbor still had her door open:
"Mom! They came to the door! Finally!"

Thinking ahead
In the car the other day, out of the blue, Jack said, "When I get bigger, I'm going to stop asking 'why' so much."

Why didn't I think of that?
(in the car on the way to daycare...)
Me: Man, I'm tired.
Jack: You can lay on the floor at work. If you get dirty, I'm sure they have some wet paper towels.

Speaking of poop...
Today at the playground Jack was playing on a truck when two other little kids joined him. The girl said something and then called Jack "poopy." Jack said, "We don't say that." Then the little boy said, "We say that all the time." Jack responded to that with, "We only use potty talk in the bathroom, and we're not in the bathroom, right?" They didn't have much to say after that.
Makes me proud, that one. (This is the same kid, by the way, that thought saying "poopbuttface" was pretty hilarious the other day, but still...)
