This is from Monday, March 28th. Joe wrote down the experience that morning while it was fresh on his mind, I am just super slow at getting it posted on the blog.
Jairus sometimes talks in his sleep. He often tosses and turns. But this was the first time he ever told us that he had a dream!
Jairus: Daddy, I dreamed last night.
Joe : Really what did you dream?
Jairus: I dreamed that we went to a football game.
Joe : Who won the game?
Jairus: I don't know.
Joe: Oh
Jairus: I had another dream.
Joe: What was it about?
Jairus: We were getting on a plane and it turned into a rocket ship, but it didn't go into outer space.
Joe: Oh. And who was in the dream?
Jairus: You and Mommy and Grandma and Grandpa.
Joe: Was baby horse or pillow pet in your dream?
Jairus: Yes, they were both in my dream and blankey.
Joe: Did they talk in your dream?
Jairus: No.
Joe: Well, dreams are fiction.
Jairus: But mine are not.
Joe: All dreams are fiction, so sometime animals or toys will talk.
Jairus: But my dreams are not fiction.

Jokes....kinda.
Jairus has a pretty good sense of humor. He generally responds well to light hearted teasing and will even tease back. We laugh together several times each day. But, so far he has yet to obtain the finer understanding of how knock, knock jokes work. This is a typical conversation on the ride home from school these last few weeks:
Jairus: Mommy, let’s tell jokes. I will start. Knock, knock.
Me: Who’s there?
Jairus: Boo
Me: Boo who?
Jairus: Don’t cry…it is just a knock-knock joke.
Both of us laugh – one of us more sincerely than the other.
Jairus: Ok Mommy, your turn.
Me: Tell the Annie Joke (Annie who….Annie body home?)
Again, Both of us laugh – one of us more sincerely than the other.
Jairus: Knock, Knock
Me: Who’s there
Jairus: Tree (or car or some item he sees)
Me: Tree Who?
Jairus: Tree on the side of the road!
Jairus laughs. I shake my head.
Jairus: Ok, your turn again.
Me: I don’t know another joke.
Jairus: It is ok…just say something.
Oh yes….and that is the challenge.
At this point, he usually tells one or two made up knock, knock jokes then he switches over to “why did the chicken (or again, some other item he sees) cross the road jokes.” Almost all of the answers have the chicken or item getting hit. I am not sure why that is funny….but regardless, Jairus laughs every time.
Good times on the ride home from school! :)

Things I want to remember...
This evening Jairus was sitting on top of me as I tried to work….then he held onto my legs when I got up to walk away. I got to the bedroom and said “You are driving me crazy! I may have to lock the door to get a break” to which Jairus replied “I will lock it for you to keep me from you.” Thanks kid for the help! ;) -- March 1
If you weren’t in my speech class this morning then you missed Jairus’ announcement. “I am allergic to spicy.” – March 2
After watching 2 days of “big kid” demonstration speeches Jairus had a speech for me. Standing behind the table in my classroom with his baby horsey and baby lion he said “Hello class. Today I am going to teach you how to fight bad guys. First… hit the bad guy.” He then had baby horsy attack baby lion. That is as far as we got. I am curious to see what speech he has for me tomorrow..... March 3
Just bribed Jairus to cut his finger nails by using "Oliva Marshmellows" (the colored fruity kind). I know Amy Hunsucker wouldn't approve. ;) -- March 10
Jairus was fussing a bit about being hurt. I asked him where he hurt. "It's the one I shouldn't have" he said. He was referring to his middle finger. :) – March 20
Jairus’ recipe for a grilled cheese sandwich: first bread, then cheese, then grilled cheese glue and finally you cook it. But don’t worry. The glue disappears when you cook it. – March 23
Me: Jairus, let's finish this puzzle.
Jairus: It's Jair...that's my new nickname.
Me: Oh, I didn't know that. Sorry.
Jair: That's what Brylee calls me. (a girl in his class) – March 26
A sucker is like sunscreen for you lips says Jairus with a totally blue sticky mouth. – March 27
When I pulled into the garage this afternoon Jairus told me "You are a great driver Mommy. You rock." :) – March 28
