Jackson, trying to open playdough can, said "I can open it 'cause I'm a STRONG BOY!"

Jax is always making up or substituting words in familiar tunes. This morning I suggested we all go back to bed (since The Wiggles concert was last night). Jackson said he'd go back to Mommy's bed and started to sing (to the tune of the Choo-Choo Soul theme song): "All aboard to Mommy's bed, All aboard to Mommy's bed, All aboard to Mommy's bed, All Aboard-All Aboard!!"

We've discovered it's hard to get the truth out of Jackson and Mia about who committed what offense when you ask yes or no questions. This morning they were upstairs when Jax called down to report that Mia was jumping on the bed.

"Mia, come here."

They both came scrambling downstairs.

"Who was jumping on the bed?"

In stereo, "Mia was."

Just to make sure Jax wasn't guilty, I said "What were you doing while Mia was jumping on the bed?"

"I was wooking in da mirror at my Wiggles shirt." (he was still dressed like Murray from the concert the night before.)

Jax came walking into our bedroom in a daze around 11:30 p.m. He grinned a sleepy face grin and said "Hello, Mommy! Hello, eddyone!" and then he snuggled up tight to me and said in his stupor, "I wuv Poppy. Poppy is my friend." Then this morning he came and climbed in again, snuggled up to me and said, "I'm mommy's wittle buddy."

Jax was in the bathroom, Mia and I were in there too. I looked at her and said "Mia, you're so beautiful- are you my little princess?"

"Yes, and this (extending her arm to Jax) is Joseph."

Me: "Hey, Joseph."

Mia: "This is baby Jesus (cradling an invisible baby in her arms). Would you like to pet Him?"

Me: "Sure."

(And I reached out to love on Baby Jesus.)

Mia then laid the invisible Baby on the floor and proceeded to bend over. She was facing the floor, shaking her head back and forth.

Me: "What are you doing, Mia?"

Mia: "I'm rubbing noses with Baby Jesus!"

Brooke was at our house this afternoon. We were at the table eating supper when Jax must've looked at the refrigerator and seen the picture with PawPaw in it.

"PawPaw's in heaven," he said, talking to Brooke. "He's with Jesus. I'm gonna go see Jesus, too. When I go see Jesus, PawPaw's gonna get on the microphone and he's gonna say 'Introducing-

JEEE-SUUUS!!!'"

***

Both say "Let my do it" for "Let me do it"

***

Mia says "cuge" for "huge".

Jax suddenly stripped off his pj's one morning and put on his Murray clothes. As he was changing, Mia said "You funny, Jackson!"

"No, I not funny. I'm Murray."
