Conversations

Jacob LOVES to talk! More so than all of the girls, combined... seriously. I never imagined that HE would be our talker, especially since he pretty much didn't talk at all until he was 2 yrs old... but since he started, he hasn't stopped.

Yesterday at breakfast:

Jacob (with an uneaten bagel & fruit on his plate): "Mommy, can I have some yogurt?"

Me: "After you eat what I have already made for you."
Jacob: "But I want yogurt now..."

Me: "When you finish eating what I have already given you."

Jacob: "Mommy, you don't take very good care of me!??!"

Me: Laughing too hard to reply...

Jacob's conversation with Santa at the mall before Christmas... he didn't start with hi... or Merry Christmas... or a list of items he wanted for Christmas...

Jacob: "Santa, how did you get here? Where is your sleigh?"

Santa: "They dropped me off and went back to the North Pole to work."

Jacob: "Oh!"

This morning:

Jacob: "Mommy, does Jesus live in heaven?"

Me: "Yes, he also lives in your heart!"

Jacob, tapping his chest: "Well, I don't feel him in there..."

And... Jamie & Jacob's conversation while playing house... I love listening to their conversations together and how Jamie answers Jacob's many questions... Jamie was the Mommy, Jacob was the Daddy, and they were carrying a baby doll...

Jamie: "Jacob, we are on our way to heaven."

Jacob: "Why are we going to heaven?"

Jamie: "Because our baby is sick and God will make her better."

Jacob: "How long will it take us to get there?"
Jamie: "About 9 minutes."
