Okay, I know I’m late. It couldn’t be helped. We’re at the beach and there was a monsoon and we lost power, but that’s another post when I have time to think.
In the meantime, I was cleaning out my car—I needed every bit of space because we carted the entire contents of Maison Bean down to the beach—and discovered an old notebook where I’d written down some funny things Jax said when he was 3, and so for posterity, I’m recording them here because there’s no telling where that notebook will end up. And besides, I didn’t have a post for today.
Jax: My tummy is hungry for choes. [“Choses” is the little Bean abbreviation for Cheerios.]
************************
Jax: I don’t want to take a bath. The water itches me.
************************
Me: Jax, who did this?!
[There was oatmeal all over the floor.]
Jax: Papa did it.
************************
At night we say prayers and we ask God to bless our family.
Jax: God bless Mimi. God bless Papa. God bless Jesus. God bless Scooby Doo.
************************
Papa and I were watching TV. Jax comes tearing through the living room. A few minutes later he comes running back from the other direction.
Me: Jax, where are you going?
Jax: The alligators are chasing me.
***********************
Tearing through the house again.
Me: Jax, where are you going?
Jax: The poop is coming!
(Sorry, I know that was a little… indelicate.)
************************
At bedtime.
Jax: Mommy, can I have some ice cream?
Me: No.
Jax: My tummy is going to cry.
************************
When I put on a dress with a cinched waist and a full skirt.
Jax: Mommy is a princess.
************************
Me: Can I have two of those jellybeans?
Jax: Say please, Mommy.
***********************
Me: You cleaned up your room so well.
Jax: You so proud of me.
************************
Jax: Mommy, your dress is wet.
Me: Uh-huh.
Jax: Did Moose pee-pee on it.
Me: No. I got it wet when I was washing dishes.
Jax: Bless your heart.
************************
As I was opening the door to my bedroom, Jax bursts out.
Jax: Welcome to the party.
************************
Jax: Mommy?
Me: Hmmm?
Jax: I loves you.

I’m going to start saying, “Bless your heart” at slightly inappropriate times much more often.
LMAO!! Those were priceless!! Love the “Bless You” comment! That had me rolling!!
“The poop is coming”. Out of the mouth of babes!
And he’s no dummy…”Papa did it”. Smart boy!
Hope you’re having a great summer Jen!
These are priceless!
I heart Jax 🙂
So sweet, but I am a little bias! On a different note, I just wrote a behavioral study paper on why I keep such a messy car. (I could totally appreciate your blog and finding the hidden notebook:)
I love toddler outbursts… they always make me smile. “Bless your heart” mamabean you have an amazing little guy!
It’s so great you wrote everything down. My kids love seeing everything they used to say. Hope you’re having a great beach week!!
Love it! Bless your heart and God bless Scoobie Doo are definitely my favorites. This is one of the main reasons we all started our blogs, isn’t it?
