Today Henry was doing his job- which is to unload the clean silverware into its proper place in the silverware drawer. He does an excellent job- everything always in the right place. He takes his job very seriously. Often, when he goes to get a fork or a spoon he exclaims, "Ohah!! Only one left!!" and is very alarmed. A boy after my own heart, it gives him great satisfaction to see a full silverware drawer.
Today when he was holding up the "big spoons" to show Jack how many there were, he caught his reflection in the back of the spoon. Following is the conversation he had with the spoon:
"Hello Henry!" (Lots of silly faces)
"Wow, me look big and tall!" (Moves the spoon up and down, nods his head up and down and says Whoa whoa whoa)
Very cute. Very funny.

Jack came home from school today and while we were eating lunch we had the following conversation:
Me, Jack
So, mom, a girl kissed me at school today.
(nonchalantly) Oh, really?
Yea, while we were waiting to go home.
(still nonchalantly) Why did she do that, do you suppose?
Well, I accidentally reminded her that she kissed me the other day, and so I guess she decided she should do it again.
(Now not hiding my interest well) Oh, so she kissed you before huh? Did she kiss you on the cheek?
On the cheek the first day, then today ON THE LIPS (said slowly for emphasis), and then right here (he pointed to a spot right by his eye).
Did you like it?
Not on the lips, that's gross, but on the cheek is OK.
Well, that's nice I guess.
(Incredulous) NICE?!! Why?
Well, I guess that means she thinks you are nice and cute.
(Exasperated/almost depressed sounding) Ugh, yes, I am cute.

At least Henry recognized himself in the spoon!
Jack "accidentally" reminded the little girl? Hmmmmmmm. 1 month into school and the girls are after him already - watch out Mom!
Nona
How adorable. The comments just keep getting better as they get older. How fun for you.
Hilarious! I can just picture Jack innocently saying, "Ya know, you did kiss me the other day. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention, that's all. Anyway . . .let me show you this cool trick my brother does with spoo . . ." smooch!
No need to go to a fun house, just pull out the silverware drawer. Henry's so resourceful. See...chores can be fun. Unless its a chore to be kissed. Poor Jack. I guess it's hard to be so desirable.
Your boys are hilarious! And yes, Jack is very cute. If I were 5 again (and single), I'd kiss him!
