Jackson was watching me while I was putting on my make-up this morning. He kept asking me questions like, "what you doing?" "what's that?" and "why?" I replied to the "why" questions with, "because mommy is a girl, and that's what big girls do--they put on make-up."
Jackson: "mommy, somedays I be girl too"
Me: "really?...what are you today?"
Jackson: "boy"
Then he thought for a moment and said, "tomorrow I be girl."
Some time ago, in an attempt to get Jackson down for his nap (which is not always an easy task), I told him that he needed to take a "little" nap. That really stuck with him because now when he goes down for his nap he asks me if he should take a "long nap" or just a "little-baby nap." I usually say a "little-baby" nap is just fine (to amuse him). Then he falls happily asleep.
Quotes from Jackson...
"That's my favorite." (he says this about everything)
"Someday I be whole, big boy, like daddy."
...to be continued;)

I love these!! Keep em coming! My favorite is "whole big boy, like daddy!"
Will is determined to get to be as strong as his daddy - he thinks he's almost there (probably because I keep telling him that when he eats his veggies!)
