Like Father Like Son - Part II

We went to Legoland Windsor yesterday as a family (similar to Six Flags but lots of things made with Legos). It was a great time. I am going to post more pictures from Legoland, but my first entry must go to Jack's first go at driving. They had a specific area designed to 3-5 years old where they could practice driving - pushing the pedal and steering. Enjoy!

Jack's first instructions from Dad:



And as you can tell from this video, he drives like his father (I know I am going to get in trouble for that one!)!

From the bottom of my...

A conversation between Erin and Jack after pre-school yesterday:

JACK (showing Erin some of his 'artwork'): Look Mom, I wrote two 'Js' for Jack and a 'T' for Theo.
ERIN: Jack, that is really sweet. What made you think of writing a T for Theo.
JACK: I just, I just felt it (long pause) felt it in my throat.

Your throat??? As a mother, I was thinking he was going to say that he felt it in his heart to remember his little brother while at pre-school, but no this feeling came from his throat. :)

Oh Dear...

Charles was out all day at an ordination service for a recent graduate. Only shortly after we had picked him up at the train station, did Jack quickly announce, 'I didn't sin at all today Daddy!'

I think what he meant was that he wasn't disciplined - to a three and three quarters year old (which is what he refers to himself as) this is a pretty big deal. :)

Yes, we did correct him and his theology.

All good thoughts occur when you are on the....

While we were on holiday Charles took Jack to a public bathroom and waited in the stall while Jack finished his business. Here is the conversation that occurred while Jack was on the pot:

Jack: Dad, do you remember when I was three? (He is three-and-a-half now, nothing less!)
Charles: Yes, I remember when you were three.
Jack: Yes, when I was three I had to hold the banister when I walked down the stairs, but now I don't have to because I am three-and-a-half.

What on earth made him think of this while he was sitting on the toilet?????

Prayer Requess of a Three-Year-Old

The following were Jack's prayer requests last night in this order:

Pray that I don't slip and fall and get fox's poop on me tomorrow
Pray that Jesus will make me perfect so I won't sin
Thanks that I got a new cd player so that Super Saviour doesn't skip anymore
Thanks for Bridget's new job

Oh how I love the minds of little people...
