Hi Ho, Hi Ho - It's off to work I go

Just a snipet of how I spend my day -

Jack: "Daddy!! Daddy"

Me: "Where is Daddy??"

Jack: "Work" (actually sounds more like "erk"). "Mimi!! Mimi!!"

Me: "Where's Mimi??"

Jack: "Home. Papa!! Papa!!"

Me: "Where's Papa??"

Jack: "Home"

And you get the picture. We actually go through Daddy, Mimi, Papa, Cooper, Landree, Caleb, Matt (Caleb's dad), Abby, and on and on. I would say we have this conversation about oh, I don't know, 375 times a day. He is stuck on this "work/home" thing. Sometimes Mimi is at work - sometimes she is home and the same goes for Papa and all Jack's friends. Sometimes Landree is at work - sometimes she is home.

So, the other day Jack and I were out back playing with his frisbee (another newfound love of his. It's really humorous to see him throw the frisbee. He winds up, spins and throws it). So, Jack grabs the frisbee and takes off running across the backyard and this conversation follows:

Me: "Jack, where are you going??"

Jack: "Work"

He never looked back and never stopped running. Guess he just decided it was time to try out this "work" thing.

That is so funny. Maybe they can make us some extra money. :) They do have a social security card. :)

When we're in the backyard, Gabriel always jumps in his car and proudly informs me that he's going to daycare, "Bye!"
