James Speak

James spends a good part of Matthias' nap asking me when he can wake Matt up to play. The other day he kept asking about a bazillion times so I finally said "You can get Matt up now." With intense relief in his voice, "Thank you."


So James has started, uh shall we say, stretching the truth a bit lately. The other day he came up to me and says...

James: Matthias put water in my pants.
Me: (his pants were dry) Did you leak in your underwear?
James: No, Matthias put water in my pants.
Me: I didn't hear any water.
James: He got the faucet really quiet and put water down my pants.
Me: And you stood there and let him do this? Go change your underwear. And please don't pee in your pants.


The boys, James especially, are totally into Star Wars right now. We got a huge Star Wars book from the library and James pours over it everyday gleaning random facts. This kid could probably beat you in a trivial pursuit Star Wars edition. As could his Grandma Harvey, I think she read it about eight thousand times while she was here. And we're talking hundreds of pages of Star Wars trivia. So the other night I went to tuck James in and as I turn him back head up in the bed he goes..

"chh, chh, sss (this is a light sabor noise). Lift the light sabor. chh, chh."

In his sleep. When I relate this to Taylor he said, "Yeah tonight when I was getting his pajamas on he was jumping up and down with excitement because he could go to sleep and dream about Star Wars." Now there is a great incentive to get your kids to bed.
