P.S. to Daddy's Holiday (previous post)

I forgot to say - that we all love and miss you, Charles. And yes, we hope you are having a great time on holiday.

Daddy's Holiday

Charles has been away at a conference since Friday. It is an annual conference that he has attended for many years now. It is a conference that I am a bit jealous of - you know the kind of conference that you go and see some of your best friends from years gone by, fly cross-Atlantic without kids, eat nice food, stay in nice hotels, etc - that kind of 'conference'. So please forgive me if I chuckled at breakfast today when Jack was praying and said, 'Dear God, Thank you that Daddy was able to go on holiday.'

Too true Jack - I couldn't have said it better!

Jack and Baby Conversations

Two recent conversations with Jack:

FIRST
Jack: Mommy, how do you know the baby is going to come in February?
Erin: Well, the doctor told us that.
Jack: How does the doctor know that.
Erin: Because it takes nine months to grow a baby and February is about nine months.
Jack: Oh, was I in your belly for nine months?
Erin: Yes.
Jack: I don't remember much about that, I'm afraid.


SECOND
Erin: Jack what do you think we should name the baby?
Jack: Rosie if it is a girl and Jack if it is a boy.
Erin: Jack?
Jack: Yes, Jack.
Erin: Wouldn't that get kind of confusing to have two boys named Jack.
Jack: No, it would be okay because then when you asked Jack to do something only one of us would have to do it (obviously plotting that it wouldn't be his Jack!).

Interview with Theo

Here is another video taken of Theo recently. He is at a really fun age where he is trying out a lot of words. He looks like he is well on his way to giving his older brother a run for his money...well, maybe not quite yet!

More Tickle

Here is a video of Theo before church today. He absolutely loves to be tickled. Often he will lie down and wait for you to tickle him. After you stop, he will then ask for more. When he taps with both of his hands on his stomach, that is his 'please' sign. Enjoy!
