Today Jake was cracking me up. This morning at breakfast I shared my fresh squeezed orange juice with Jake-first batch from the orange tree this season, and after a sip, Jake's face puckered up (it was pretty tart) and he said, "WOAH! Mommy, this juice is MAGIC!" I said, "what do you mean?" He goes, "when I took a sip, this eye stayed open and this eye squinted closed!" I laughed and told him that's what happens when you eat/drink something tart. Meanwhile, he was trying so hard (without drinking) to make his eyes do it again!
As I read books with Jake at bedtime tonight, I felt the baby moving so I put Jake's hands on my belly. While he was waiting to feel movement he asked some questions about the baby's home:
J: Does he like sitting in all that yuckiness?
Me: What yuckiness?
Jake: (circling his hands around) all that squishy stuff inside your tummy
Me: laugh
Jake: (thinking my laugh meant he's been misunderstood and he needed to clarify) you know, like he's sitting on all that food.
I explained how he lives in his own little sac and he gets food from his umbilical cord,etc...he started cracking up and thought that was hilarious (?)...his reasoning seemed to make a lot more sense to him, I guess
