It’s Acting!
Watched Night at the Museum with Joseph. After it was over he had some questions and comments…
So, those people were real…not drawn…right? (Right. Well, I mean, there were some computer effects but it wasn’t a cartoon.)
So…did that happen? (No. It’s a story and the actors memorize what to say, then people video tape them saying it.)
Tell me more about how that works. (Well, like you have that poem memorized, they have the story memorized. Then someone records them all acting out the story and saying their lines…like that play we went to–but much better…and like I record you on my phone. But they have better cameras.)
Oh! Ok. (Make sense?) Yeah. Boy, those guys must be tired! (Tired?) From all that acting work. (You know the didn’t just act it out right now… right?) Oh. Ok. Well that’s good. (It’s recorded and we’re watching it later.) Oh yeah.
Pigs
Me: And what are these animals?
Maddie: Pigs!
Me: And what do you call these baby pigs?
Maddie: Oinklets.
A Pocket
Maddie loves to wear anything of Joseph’s. So come potty training time, I pulled out the bag of Lightning McQueen briefs. Maddie thinks they are great. She especially likes the front pocket.
Wook! Pocket!
Dessert
Noah: I made a nice dessert for whoever finishes their dinner.
Mads: Teessert?
N: What’s teessert?
M: It’s eaty things!
Learning to Right
J: Mom, what does this say?
Me: The Har
J: How do you spell hair?
Me: It needs an i.
J: Ok.
I couldn’t figure out what he was planning. See if you get it…

(My bad, buddy…you needed an e!)
The Golden Rule
J: Maddie, don’t you know the golden rule? Treat others how they want you to treat you!!!
Me: Guys, keep your hands to yourselves!
(Swatting/pinching continues.)
J: I’m just treating her how she’s treating me!
Me: The Golden Rule is treat others how you WANT them to treat you…not how actually are treating you.
J: Oh.
Legoland
J: Mom look at this! It’s a water-air glider. It’s got theses undercabbages here–see the undercabbages? They release rain on people. And here, these doors are contraptive–and they have motion sensors.
Wuv
Joseph: I love you, Madeline. That’s one thing you never have to worry about–I’ll always love you. And mommy and daddy…and grandma and grandpa.
Madeline: I wuv Justin.
J: Well, I can’t love Justin. I don’t know Justin.
M: I wuv Justin.
Messy Hands
When you have messy hands, you know you’re having fun!
Sunday Afternoon
Mom, you know there was a guy that painted with dots? It’s called pointillism. He became very, very famous and name was Georges Seurat. The T is silent. He didn’t live very long. Mom, where are my paints? I need to paint.
