We were in the car.  Miles started making up jokes.

M:  What did the bunny say in his house?

A:  I don’t know, what?

M:  Wipe your rabbit!

Then he laughed uproariously.

Miles came and showed Denny and me an item he’d found, which we knew had been on a high shelf.

M:  Look what I got off the cabinet!

D:  How did you reach that?  Did you use your stool?

M:  I didn’t use my stool.  I just beed a big boy.

Here’s a glimpse of our new little one, ETA August 30, 2011.  I’m at 11 weeks’ gestation today.  Miles calls him/her Darth Vader.

In his sleep early this morning:

M:  No, but I have Hungry Hungry Marble Hippos.

Denny was standing behind me with his arms around me.  Miles came up and wanted my attention for something.  He stopped, looked at us with a puzzled expression, and gingerly touched Denny’s hand.

M:  Which one is you?

Miles was in a great mood while he played with a train set at Von Maur yesterday.  He was playing really well with another kid who was there.  I went to check on him.

M:  We guys are having fun!

It’s a good day to test the new snowblower.

Denny also did some neighbors’ sidewalks and driveways, too.  What a peach!
