This is Delicious!

LJ is cracking us up on a daily basis - the things he says and where he gets them (well, some of them we can tell where he get them) are beyond us, but they are funny to hear a 2-almost-3-year-old say.

At dinner the other night, he took a bite, closed his eyes and said, "ummm, this is delicious".

When we tell him what we are going to do (like, "put on yours shoes, go to the bank, and go get your cookie"), he sometimes says, "oh my - that will be so much fun".

Sometimes, things get more than one "so" - like if we tell him someone is coming to visit, that might get a "that will be so, so, so much fun".

He has one picture book of food and he always calls the butter - peanut butter. The other day, he said, "peanut butter, no actually - it is just butter" - hilarious...although that is what we've said to him...we've discovered that we say "actually" quite a bit...a lot, actually.

Aside from these funnies, LJ has an amazing sense of direction. I first noticed this LAST summer when we moved office buildings. I remember telling LJ that we were going to see daddy at work, which I'm sure was going to be so, so, so much fun. When we passed our original building, LJ screamed, "NOOOOOOO" and pointed at our old building. I tried to explain to him that daddy and mommy where in a new building, but he didn't really calm down until we saw daddy. Since then, he never ceases to amaze me with his keen observations. We almost always tell him where we are going and he'll tell us if we go a different way. When we turn on a street, he'll say - "this is how we go to get doughnuts" or "we are almost to the bank" or something like that. We stayed in a certain chain of hotel once this summer...when he saw that hotel here (I didn't even know we had one), he said "oh, there's our's new place" - and sure enough, it was the same chain. RJ explained that it wasn't ours, it was "a match" (which he is very into matching things and noticing matches) and he said "oh, is a match". I'm fairly certain I was not this observant at his age.

PJ rolled over (front to back) once over the weekend. He hasn't done it since, but in all honesty, we aren't that diligent with tummy time. I'm making more of an effort this week though. I wouldn't have thought this possible, but I think PJ is *more* laid back and *more* happy than LJ was...this kid smiles ALL THE TIME. In fact, he'll cry to get our attention, but as soon as we walk into his line of sight - he starts smiling and kicking his feet. He is a little Houdini though - we've had to invent Swaddle System 3 for him...more on that later, perhaps.
