I hear paper being swished back and forth on the table and Seth says &#8220;Look Mommy, lines!&#8221; I look over and he&#8217;s moving his paper in the shadows of the blinds cutting the light streaming through the window and falling on the table. I explain to him what it is and continue my reading. A minute later he says &#8220;It&#8217;s God&#8217;s light!&#8221; then he is distracted by Jerome&#8217;s loud scribbling and plants his feet in a patch of sunshine on the carpet to watch. He just ran over and a planted a kiss on my cheek.&#8221; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Last night David and Noel were over for dinner at our house and Seth is looking at a big book about the human body and studying the page on muscles. There was a drawing of different facial expressions illustrating facial muscles, one frowning, one smiling, and one singing. David asked Seth &#8220;Why do you think he&#8217;s frowning?&#8221; and Seth answered &#8220;Because his head is off!&#8221;. He was right, it was only a head. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look! I drawed a refridgerator and milk! He&#8217;s going to get it out for his mommy. He&#8217;s strong! Like God! And emeny!&#8221; 1.4.08<\/p>\n<p>When Seth was sick with the flu he said in a very faint voice with long pauses: &#8220;Mama, I need something. Um, I need a shower. A toy one. Yes, today.&#8221; (?)<\/p>\n<p>This one is Jerome&#8217;s: Yesterday as we were in the car with Anna her radio was on and she asked the boys &#8220;Who can tell me what instruments they hear playing?&#8221; Jerome immediately throws his hands into he air and yells &#8220;ipod!&#8221;. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>And just this evening Seth and Ian were playing around on the floor and Seth put his crocheted hat on Ian&#8217;s head and said &#8220;Look! He&#8217;s a winter baby!&#8221;&#8230;he makes me smile!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A note I took down last week: 1.6.08 &#8220;As I am studying on narration, Jerome is drawing on his antler sprawled out on the floor and Seth sits quietly at the table drawing tiny detailed shapes with my pen.
