The Elder Son

The oldest son in this household is now three and a half. He's very talkative if he knows you and decides that conversation is on his agenda for the day.

One of my recent favorites:

"God sent the rain today so there would be lots of puddles for me to splash in."

Jonathan stepped on the scale yesterday, and I realized that we have reached a milestone: he now weighs 30 pounds. He said, "Mom, I'm huge." Not really, kid, but I'll let you believe that until you are faced with reality.
