I'm a mommy to the two coolest little boys in the world. Jackson is my smartypants sweetheart, he's almost nine.  Noah is an adorable and talkative age four.  I feel really lucky to have sons because the entertainment is almost nonstop.  We laugh a lot, and I've come to know that laughter is key.  Especially to maintain the little bit of sanity I still have when they are driving me nuts, and they do in fact drive me nuts, a lot.  It's always interesting though, no matter what.  So, a long time ago I started writing down conversations we have, because for posterity sake, this stuff is like gold.

Noah is making obnoxious noises in the car: 'Nah, nah, nee, naww, neh, nah, neeee.'

Jackson to Noah: 'Stop!'

Noah to Jackson: 'Nanny nahhh neeee naww nanny noony neeee...'

Jackson to Noah: 'Duuude, stop!'

Noah to Jackson: 'Nooooooo, you stop, nannyyy noooo nahhhh'

Jackson to Noah: 'Gaaah, Noah! Stop doing that!'

Noah; 'Nawwww neeee noooooo'

Mom to Jackson and Noah: 'You guys both stop. This constant bickering is going to drive me insane.'

Jackson to Mom: 'I think we need Dr. Phil.'

January 2008

The three of us were watching America's Funniest Home Videos together while we eat dinner. It was the one where they name the Funniest Video of All Time. The winner was that video with the identical quadruplet babies, who are laying on their mom laughing together... it really is the funniest one of all time. When Tom Bergeron announced that they won a quarter of a million dollars, I said 'WOW, that's awesome!' and as the grateful parents broke down in tears, I said 'Now they can send their kids to college!'

Jackson: 'Send their kids to college?'

Mom: 'Jackson, college is expensive. They have four kids. You and your brother are going to have to keep your grades up, and be good in sports, so you can get scholarships... because I can't afford to pay for your college.'

Noah: 'Mommy, when I go there, I want you to go with me. I will get hungry.'

May 2008

Tonight Jackson called himself a 'bottle baby'... he was being silly. I told him that he was never a bottle baby. He looked at me funny, and I elaborated. I told him that he never once drank out of a bottle, because I fed him for 11 months, until he figured out the sippy cup and dumped me. He was still confused. So I explained to him that he was breastfed. (I was surprised that he didn't remember this)

He said 'so, you have little cows inside your body?' I laughed and told him that he drank 'mothers milk.' He looked at me, his face twisted, and he said, 'that's the grossest thing I've ever heard!'
