Day Seven - all is well.

Quinn, seven days old today. Had both boys in bed with me this morning. Got Jonah off to school for 8:15. Nate and I went to Home Depot to pick some things up and then met Dave K. at Tim Horton's for a quick visit. The store was almost empty so Nate turned it into a playground. At one point, he climbed unto the window sill, hopped unto a table and leaped off unto the floor, smiling the whole time. He also stole one of Dave's timbits. He had given Dave the timbit 5 minutes earlier. Dave was cool with it though, he's got 4 brothers... Picked Jonah up at school, and he wiped out on his bicycle on the way home. He skinned his knee, elbow and hand and could not continue, but did not cry. I was tending to him and he said "Dad! I was not even thinking about showing off right there. I was only thinking about doing the jump." We piled in the van, went for a drive in the country and back home for pizza and sweet potato fries. Get the kids in PJs, into bed, thats a wrap! oh wait, wake every 3 hrs...

Jonah must think Leah is not as accessible as she once was. He sat down beside her tonight and asked her "Mommy, would you like to touch me? or, hold my hand". A cuddling session was soon underway.

Here is a video of Quinn swinging away. Listen to the hiccups. Jonah gets props as the cameraman. 

Jonah watched the trailer for Conan's new show. He was lying in bed, doing 'the stare' when Leah asked him where he was.
Jonah - remember the guy who put all the explosives in his car, beat up the guy and then drove the car off the big cliff? that's what I'm thinking about right now...  umm, WHY would he do that?
Me - He was just being funny. he didn't really do it.
J - how is that funny?
M - big people find it funny.
J - umm, ok. but why did they need to put all the extra stuff in it too?
M - the fireworks?
J - yah. why?
Me - to be extravagant.
J - WHAT'S EX-TRAV-enn mean?
M - over the top. to make it really crazy so people find it funny. Do you get satire at all Jonah?
J - no.
M - good night. love you.
J - love you (head butt kiss).
haha, gotta love him.
