Conversations With Jacob

Had a rough day, Jacob?

Jacob's imagination, coupled with his ever expanding vocabulary, makes me laugh everyday. He says the funniest things! Here is a sampling of our recent conversations:

Jacob: Yook Mommy! It's windy!!
Me: It is windy. Do you see the wind blowing the trees?
Jacob: Uh-huh.
Me: Who made the wind?
Jacob: (emphatically) Aunt Jo-Buff!!

While we ate lunch, we were listening to this Mozart music for kids......
Jacob: Mommy sing!
Me: But I don't know this song.
Jacob: Mommy sing!
Me: Ok....la la la la la laaaaaaaa
Jacob: No mommy...sing beh-yuh (better)...sing beh-yuh, mommy. Sing like a pano (piano)!!

Easter Sunday on the way to church, we said, "He is risen!" and taught Jacob the correct response: "He is risen, indeed!" However, it came out a little differently when he said it.
Me: He is risen!
Jacob: He is risen...in Steve!

More from Easter Sunday...
Me: Do you think the Easter bunny came to our house?
Jacob: Peter Cottontail comin'?
Me: Peter Cottontail? Is that the Easter Bunny's name?
Jacob: Uh-huh. Here comes Peter Cottontail....

Yesterday morning, Jacob was rockin' out with his guitar.
Me: Are you a rockstar?
Jacob: NO! I a big boy! My name's JACOB!

We got behind a v-e-r-y s-l-o-w driver the other day. I don't remember where we were going, but knowing me, we were probably running late. I got frustrated.
Me: Uuuugggggghhhhhh! Could you drive any slower?
Jacob: No Mommy. Say, "Good gwief (grief)" then say, "uuugggghhh!"

At the Chik-fil-A drive-thru, I rolled down the window to order...
Me: I would like...
Jacob: Mommy want a Com-BO?

In the car on the way to Target...
Me: We're going to Target!
Jacob: Oooooohh...Tah-get! Yay for Tah-get!
Me: Yay for Target!
Jacob: get pup-cohn (popcorn)?
Me: If you are good, yes, you can have some popcorn.
Jacob: Pup-cohn a special teet (treat)?
Me: Yes, popcorn is a special treat.

He really does crack me up everyday! He's so entertaining. When we went to Charleston for the bridge run, we stayed in a hotel for the weekend. Jacob loved playing in the closet behind the sliding mirrored doors. The last day we were there, he pretended he was at a drive up window, sliding the doors back and forth, and ordering food. He also asked if we wanted a kids meal.

Here's one more conversation from the Charleston weekend:
My sister and Jacob were walking down the hallway at the hotel. He told her he wanted a waffle.
They arrived at the breakfast area and a little boy who was putting pancakes on his plate saw Jacob.
Random boy: "Hi!"
Jacob: "Hi!"
Random boy: (Sticks out his hand for a handshake.) "Nice to meet you!"
Jacob: (Shakes his hand) "Nice to meet you! Make me a waffle?!"
JoBeth: "Jacob, come on over here, and we'll make you a waffle."

Yesterday at Publix, he told the guy helping to load up our groceries that his sister's name was Anna-bale and that she was a babycakes....and a yiyel (little) peanut.

Here are a few pictures from the Flowertown Festival. Note the look of pure excitement on Jacob's face (ha ha). For some reason, he never shows any emotion when he's on a ride.

He did crack a little grin when he got on the Thomas train.

Discovering the deliciousness that is cotton candy. Mmmmmmmm. He wasn't sure what to think of it at first, but then wanted more when that bite was gone.
