WHAT, I HAVE CRUMBS ON MY TIE?
I WAS JUST SAVING IT FOR LATER.
So Zach screamed his head off for the third (or is it fourth?) night in a row when I made him sit down for dinner. We couldn't hear the prayer or the news, but I wasn't about to let him get up and do his own 2-year old thing when he's supposed to be eating with us. We were all getting to the end of our last nerve when he finally forgot what he was so mad about and started wolfing down his food.
By that time, we'd all finished. He asked for more, but I told him there wasn't any. So we went to wash him up. I put him on the footstool in front of the sink and started rinsing his hands, but he started frantically picking at the crumbs on his face, and popping them in his mouth. When I started to wash his face, too, he said, "No, I can eat that!"

While we're on the topic of funny things kids say, Jared is obsessed with now being 5, and has been looking for all the changes that surely come when you are suddenly a whole year older.
After I tucked him in bed tonight, he called down the stairs, "And when you turn five, your thighs get a little fatter." He seemed quite proud, but I hope that doesn't happen to me on my birthday!
