Jackson Says...

Just a few of the adorable things that Jackson has said over the past couple of months...

"Already" -- Jackson's favorite word.  Sometimes he uses it correctly, but for the most part, he just adds it to the end of every sentence.

"Chocolate and gamilla" -- Jackson's favorite ice cream flavors.

"It tastes like strawberry." -- his way of saying something tastes good.

"Mommy's friends" -- any woman, especially if they are pushing a stroller or with young kids
"Daddy's friends" -- any man, especially if they are wearing a safety vest
"Mine friends" -- any kid, bug, animal, bird, or garbage man

"I need more interneck." -- often said while using the iPad in the car {where we don't have an internet connection}.

A conversation about the dog that Mimi was dogsitting for a friend...
Mimi: "Jackson, is Sydney a boy or a girl?"
Jackson: "Mimi, it's a dog."

While picking his nose at bedtime...
Jackson: "I have no boogers. I am out."

While rough-housing on our bed...
Jackson (to Ben): "What's in your armpit."
Ben: "It's hair."
Jackson: "No, it's mulch."

While I was leaning over his bedrail telling stories and signing songs at bedtime...
Jackson: "Your hair is in your eyes.  Your hair is in MINE eyes.  You need haircut."

When Jackson notices that Dean is sleeping in his swing...
Me: "Stay over here, Jackson.  Dean's sleeping."
Jackson casually kisses or pats his head.
Jackson: "Look, Mommy.  He's awake!"
Shocking!  Unfortunately, this happens often.

While watching a stranger's home video on the iPad...
Jackson: "Mommy, I wanna go to this party."
Me: "I would love to take you to that party, but I don't know where it is."
Jackson: "No, it's on Mopac!"
According to Jackson, everything is on Mopac.

Upon finding a Lifesaver candy while digging through his pumpkin after trick-or-treating...
Jackson: "Look...it's a little donut candy!"

While rolling a papertowel out on the garage floor...
Jackson: "Lay here, Baby Dean. It's comfort-full."
It's the thought that counts, right?

While going over speed bumps on the back roads to avoid the traffic on the commute home...
Jackson: "Where are we going?...Mommy, quit bumping me."
