Jeremiah-isms Part 2

Well, not much going on here lately besides school/work/daycare.  But, I started thinking about all the funny things that J is saying lately, and wanted to get them written down so I don't forget!  Plus, his current "Jeremiah-isms" are so much more advanced that his previous ones!

1.  As Adam was clipping J's fingernails, J was feeling Daddy's ear.  He said, "Daddy, is your ear made of Play-doh?"

2.  On the way to daycare one morning I was asking J what he wants to be when he grows up.  He said, "A farmer. (long pause). And I will have animals-- pigs and chickens and cows.  And daddy will drive the combine harvester, and me and mommy will drive the plow tractor.  And I will push the pedals."  Just Jeremiah, Mommy, and Daddy living and working on a farm-- sounds good to this Mommy! :)

3.  Some of the words that I know he says incorrectly, but I think it is just so cute so I don't correct him (Bad Mommy!)... he thinks "swings" are called "sqwinks," "backpack" is "packpack," the people who live next-door are the "nayvers," which means we also live in a "nayverhood," a knife is a "knive."

4.  One night at dinner he kept lifting his shirt and looking down at his tummy after he would take a bite.  We asked him what he was doing-- his reply: "I'm looking at my belly button to see if the food is coming out."

5.  A daily conversation we have in the car concerning his stuffed giraffe:
J: "Mommy, Giraffey is eating the trees outside."
Me: "Okay."
J: "Mommy, say 'No no, Giraffey!'"
Me: "No no, Giraffey!"
J: "She's still doing it, Mommy!  Say 'No no' again!"
Me: "No no Giraffey!"
J: "Giraffey needs a time-out."
Me: "Okay, Giraffey, go to time-out."
J: "She got out of time-out!"
Me: "No no, Giraffey, go back to time-out."
J: "She got out of time-out AGAIN!"
Me: "Well, did she give you a hug  and say 'Sorry'?"
J: (in a Giraffe voice) "Sowwy Jewemiah!" "Yes, she did."
Me: "Okay, good."
(silence for a few minutes)
J: "Now Giraffey is hitting me, Mommy!"
And the conversation repeats.  Is this the proper way to discipline an unruly Giraffe?  We are at a loss...

Oh, this face. This boy brings us so much joy!

 In other news, Halloween is coming soon!  Last night we enjoyed "Trunk or Treat" at Mommy's school, and believe me, Jeremiah is the cutest dragon/dinosaur you have ever seen.  No pictures yet, though-- he only had the costume on for about 20 minutes!  But don't worry, "Beggar's Night" is Tuesday night (yes, I know, so weird that we do not "Trick or Treat" on Halloween....) so he'll be ready for pictures then.  Stay tuned (also we'll be hopefully carving pumpkins soon, too)!

"Mommy, watch this face I can make!"
