Gems

Since learning to talk, Owen has had some real gems that I've meant to record...many get written down but many are just part of the fabric of the moment; it's impossible to record them all honestly.

In the coming weeks I'll post the ones written to-date, and update accordingly. As a starter, last Friday night we were sitting on the couch together and the baby was boogieing in my belly - I asked O if he saw it and he replied, "yup, do we need to tranquilize her?"

Toilet Talk

Matt and I have noticed that some of Owen's most profound thoughts have come when he's been sitting on the toilet...maybe that's common, genetic, or just the nature of a 4-year old sitting still long enough to contemplate the fleeting thoughts in his mind.

This morning's gem: "Hey, Dad, what is triple?"
Dad: "Three."
Owen: "What is double?"
Dad: "Two"
Owen: "What's wicked?"
Dad: "That can be as many as you want."
Owen: "No, it's five."
