In the words of Jack Carter

-"Hey mom.  Did you know that Henry Vee's father's mother is the queen you see on playing cards?"

{Huh? I have him repeat this sentence}

-"Ohhhhh" I say.  "Do you mean King Henry VIII?"

- "No. Henry Vee.  V -I -I -I". 

{Discussion about Roman Numerals}

 Jack loves to read.  And I love to hear about it, precisely for reasons like Henry Vee. I hear stuff like 'Henry Vee', or 'soo-ing' (instead of sewing) all the time from my cute little guy and it always cracks me up!  He loves words and loves to use them.


Like this morning when Jack was so frustrated because Ada wouldn't get out of bed and get ready for school.

"She's just so....sedentary in the morning."

Ha!

The picture above is Jackie writing Thank You notes (sometime after Christmas).  He had a lot of Thank-You's to write.  He was so bugged that I was taking a picture!  What I didn't realize is that he was writing a Thank You card to me and Sam and he wanted it to be a surprise.  He hid it under my pillow.

Cute, huh.
