The guys have been serving up a lot of funny and unintentionally funny comments lately, presumably to keep me entertained while Daddy is in Los Angeles:
Me [to Jonah]: Please get in your carseat, honey.
Jonah [completely seriously]: Honey went to Los Angeles.

Nate: What was Grandma Nan's mommy's name?
Me: Inez.
Nate: What was Inez's mommy's name?
Me: I don't know, Nate, you'll have to ask Grandma Nan.
Nate: [eyes twinkling, about to make his first ever original intentional joke] What was You'll Have To Ask Grandma Nan's mommy's name?
* * *
Jonah: [lifting pajama shirt] See, Mommy? Dass the bottom of my heart. I love you the bottom of my heart.
* * *
Nate: Mommy, who made the whole world?
Me: [gearing up for imminent discussion of life, the universe and everything]: Well, different people believe different things. Jewish people believe that Gd made the whole world.
Nate: In what month was the whole world in Gd's tummy?

In other news, we've been extremely busy with birthday party mania in the past few weeks. We attended an excellent party at the fire station, which was fun yet scary, at least as experienced by Jonah. Both guys enjoyed the little presentation by the very friendly firefighters, including the demonstration of their equipment and fire pole, right up until they brought out an enormously loud and powerful mega-fan, which scared the tuna salad out of Jonah, and from that point on, pretty much everything scared the tuna salad out of poor Jonah. We ended up heading to the adjacent playground early, but not before Nate excitedly took a turn squirting the hose, which was excellent on so many fronts. The next day we headed to TWO parties, bringing our cupcake total for the weekend to 3, plus ice cream. This coming weekend, we have two more cake birthday parties. There's never a dull moment. Although we're very excited for Honey to come back from LA in just a few more days!
Great stories - the boys are so amazing and creative!
Love,
Bubbe

Nate -- Inez' mother's name was Minnie. Minnie's mother's name was Johanna. Sounds like you're having lots of fun at birthday parties.
