"We need one more car to go in this space. We need to ask the man. But then he'll say, 'No, you can't have any more cars. You have plenty of cars.' But I only have {looking around at his massive amount of cars}...a lot of cars."

- Luke. The "man", as I found out later, is Daddy.

"Granmom's not going to school. So she doesn't have to go potty anymore. So...I can spend the night."

- Luke. Luke's allowed to spend the night at Granmom's house when she's not going to school anymore. And the stipulation for him to go to preschool in the fall was that he needed to be potty trained. I didn't realize that he thought people only went to school when they had to go #1 or #2.

"They're these things on my nose...polka dots."

- Luke, pointing to his dried snot. Gross, I know. But if you call them "polka dots", doesn't it make it a bit more palatable?

Silas, you are so amazingly great. As we see increasingly more of your personality, we get so excited about the boy you're going to be. You are fun. You are sweet. You are an awesome gift from God. Keep it coming, little guy!

Love,
Daddy and Mommy

Luke: "Oh yes, I remember her tummy. It was a beautiful place."

"I think he's getting bigger! Look!"

- Luke. He says this pretty much every day about Silas. It's normally right after I say something like, "When Silas gets bigger, you guys can play by yourselves in the Bounce 'Round..."
