Conversations with Jacob

Perhaps, because Jacob has had a hard time with his expressive language, or maybe because Jane is so close in age and I rarely get 1:1 time with him, I feel that I haven't conversed with him the way I did with the girls. It also makes me more appreciative of the progress he's made, and how much fun it is when we do talk, uninterrupted.
Here are a few gems from this week;

While going to pick up Rebekah from her friends house, their last name is Ricks. (It was dark.)
Me; "Oops, I missed the turn off. Oh, well. I'll go this way."
J; "Mama, are we lost?"
Me; "Nope, this is their street. Now, which one's the Rick's house, which one's the Rick's house - oh here it is."
J; (confused) "Daddy live here?"

Getting ready to go to the pool.
Me; "Jacob, hurry and go get your swimsuit, or we won't be able to go to the pool."
J; (casually) "Will there be crocodiles there?"
Me; "No, crocodiles don't live in pools."
J; (disappointed) "Oh."

During his educational evaluation, for on-going speech services.
Evaluator; "Jacob what would you do, if you saw fire and smoke?"
J; "Die"

LOVE that kid!
