When I told him I thought it was still too early to wake up and that it was still dark out he said, "but see my head? my head is UP! that means it's time to wake up and go finish our snowman!"

snow
Wednesday morning I woke up next to Jack (long story) at about 5 am or something and he bolted upright and said, "Nancy! we have to finish our snowman!"

things a mom and her boy say to each other.
often I am overwhelmed by how much I love Jack and I feel like I will burst. And I think that if I loved him even one little bit more, I might explode. I might explode into a burst of ....what?
I found myself saying to Jack one day, "Jack, I loved you anymore I might just explode into a hundred million....jellybeans!"
and Jack said, "Jackbeans!"
so now when I feel that surge in my heart I say, "Jack, if I loved you anymore I would just explode into a hundred million Jackbeans!"
and he says, "Nancy, if I loved you anymore, I would explode into a hundred million Mamabeans!" and then we laugh and I say, "do you know what love means Jack?" and he says, "I don't know."

night/morning
Jack has been coming into our room in the middle of the night. If we have our wits about us, we walk him back to his room, but sometimes I'm too lazy. Also, Jack has been sick lately, and I'm much more lenient about anything that helps him sleep more.
He does tend to sleep later into the morning when he's with us.
The funny part is that he always ends up sleeping ACROSS our two pillows, which if you're picturing it, really means he's lying across Sean and I.
So this morning I woke up to his little legs draped across my chest and it was just about the sweetest thing you can imagine. He's all passed out, snoring away, and his little perfect feet are right at eye level when I lift my head.

Jack and Tycco
this morning Jack woke up and said, "Tycco?"
they have an extraordinary friendship. At school this morning Jack even bypassed reading a book with me because Tycco arrived and Jack wanted to go find him.
Their teachers tell us that Jack and Tycco are the only kids in the class who can completely resolve conflict on their own. They will start off screaming at each other and by the end they are happily saying, "okay, let's go play".
