Too Cute!

Jordan is so creative and also manipulative. Here is a rehash of two conversations we had recently.

In Wal-Mart last night Jordan was in the cart helping unload groceries onto the belt. All the boys helped me unload groceries for a casserole, salad, and a cookie salad recipe. Jordan started holding his tummy and whimpering. I asked him if he was alright. He said his tummy hurt. I then asked him if he had to go potty. "No, I need medicine" Medicine? What kind of medicine? "Cookie medicine!" The checkout lady and I both got a great chuckle out of that one. I even heard Michael and Jeffrey(who are usually immune to his comic relief and don't think he is very funny at all) laughing. Because I am a sucker for a handsome face, Jordan and his brothers (Ok, and maybe his Mommy, too : ) got cookies on the way home from Church.

The other conversation was this morning while we were cleaning house. Jordan was in charge of putting away stray DVD's that sprout legs and maneuver up the stairs to their secret meeting place on top of the TV. He was supposed to take them downstairs and put them away. It seems that about 15 DVD's had made it to this weeks meeting, so Jordan was going to have to make more than one trip to keep them from getting away from him. On his second trip up the stairs, I heard him singing "Turkey in the Straw". It is a song that is on one of his Little People CD's.

Just in case you have never heard this song, it makes you want to put on some Cowboy boots and go to a Square dance. which I would never be caught dead at.

YeeHaw. Tons of fun for a little boy of 3. As he come up the stairs,
"Mommy, do you famember that you always say: don't just work, have fun....... sing a song? I'm singing Turkey in the Straw. roll em up, in the high tuckit maw, Turkey in the Straw!"
none of us can really understand the words, so they change every time you sing them , except " Turkey in the Straw!" is always sung with great enthusiasm.
