It's that time of year and Jory's school has a special show for the mommy's and daddy's. This year they made themselves little candles and sang a bunch of Hanukah songs just for us. Our little pride and joy was the star of the show. He sang so wonderfully, we are going to sign him up for American Idol! (...just kidding)

Tell us what you really think
Mealtimes are not very exciting for Jory. He eats a few bites and then asks to be excused. It's more like "I'm done, can I go watch TV?" We usually make sure he ate an acceptable amount of food and let him go especially if he asks nicely. At dinner last night he was being particularly antsy and we secretly were happy to let him go off to the other room for a few moments of peace while we finished our meal. Just outside the kitchen is a small wall where the wallpaper is slowly finding its way to the recycling bin. Jory had the brilliant idea of taking his sleeves and whack the lifting wallpaper to help it on its way. After many attempts to get him to stop and to get him to go watch his show, Ryan yelled out to him, "Stop Jory!!! Where do you think you live?" Jory responds in a very quick, very sure, "A Barn!"

Table for...
The lack of posts from yours truly is not due to the kids not being funny. In fact, they continue to be funnier every day. But I get lazier. Anyway, here's a couple of funny Jory-isms from tonight. We went out to dinner and we're on our way home. Jory wants to change movies in the back seat theater and asks "What's N-O-D-I-S-C mean?" It took us a second to figure out what he was spelling. It's what the display shows when there's no DVD in the drive.
Then out of the blue he says, "There's four of us. 1, 2, 3, 4. Yep, there's 4 of us, right daddy?" I have no idea what he's doing. "Yeah, there's 4 of us" ... "Not 3 and a high chair like YOU said, you always say that daddy but there's four of us." Once I stopped laughing I explained that Mira needs a high chair or she would not reach the table. He suggested I just tell them we're 4 and a Mira.
