This was too funny not to post.
Tonight at dinner Jackson was telling me how much he loved me. (Sigh.)
Jackson: "Mom, I love you so much. From here to earth to Pluto to earth to Pluto to earth, back to Pluto. . . . " You get the idea. He said it at least 15 times. And totally aware that Pluto is the farthest from earth. Yes, I know Pluto is no longer a planet.
Mom: "I love you that much too. But maybe even more."
Jackson: all smiles
Noah: "You know how much I love you mom?"
Mom: "How much?"
Noah: "From here to the cookie, to my plate to my drink and to Mercury and back"
Jackson: "Uhhh, like Mercury is the closest planet to earth. Why does he only love you that much?"
Mom: (holding in all my laughter but not very well) "Well, he loves me all around the dinner table too."
I thought it was so funny how Jackson would call Noah out on the distance from earth to all the planets. Jackson has become pretty smart when it comes to outer space. He has learned all the planets and their line up according to earth. No thanks to me I assure you. I am pretty certain he learned it from his Leapster game Wall-E. Thanks Disney.

That's hilarious! That Jackson is a smarty pants and the interplay was perfectly Jackson and Noah.
the things they say are so dang hilarious! glad the solar system is teaching them how much to love their mama!
That is pretty impressive! Jackson is sure a smart cookie.
Actually, many people, including many professional astronomers, still believe Pluto IS a planet. The controversial demotion of Pluto was done by four percent of the International Astronomical Union, most of whom are not planetary scientists. It was immediately opposed by an equal number of professional astronomers led by Dr. Alan Stern, Principal Investigator of NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto. You can find their petition here: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/planetprotest/
I don't know how old your son is, but your story is delightful, as is his interest in the planets. Please do not tell him that "Pluto is no longer a planet" because that is just one point of view. Instead, let him know that many scientists do still view Pluto as a planet, and he can too.
that is pretty funny. i love those boys! i wish our dinner conversation were as exciting.
Funny. From here to his cookie? That's a pretty big deal.
Wow! I thought I kept up to speed on your blog, but what the heck prego!! Nice work! Happy birthday Noah!
Do you know Laurel or did she just find you? WOW! Talk about passionate! We'll you and Jackson are smarter than me! I had no idea that Pluto as a planet was up for question. That is a really cute converstaion.
First of all, you a hot sexy witch! i loved those stockings and heels. I wish I was invited to munch on those spiderweb cupcakes:)
Wow...gotta get my boy caught up on his solar system...Jackson knows more than I do!
LOL. Maybe Noah know how close Mercury is and he was trying to be realistic. Your kids are smarty pants.
They're both way too funny. And I can see and hear the whole thing in my head and it's all hilarious... I miss you guys.
oh, they are too cute!:) sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you about the diaper bag. my friend doesn't have a website:( and she hasn't updated her blog in like 4 months, so that won't be much help either. anyways, i will get her email and send it to you, and you could write her an email if you want. i'll tell her you might be writing. i don't really know how much she would charge or anything (she hasn't really sold them yet) so maybe she can give you a better idea. i love mine though and use is EVERY day!!:)
Well, Jackson is officially smarter then Zach! Zach thought Venus was the closest planet to the sun, could we hire Jackson to tutor zach?
Pretty cute. I'm excited for my kids to talk to me like that. Also, congrats on your baby boy. I had no idea you were pregnant!
What a little smarty pants! That is so funny!!
That's to cute! I laughed reading the dialog. You have such a fun and sweet family:)
So cute! I bet it's nice to be loved all around the dinner table and beyond!
Firstly, hi! and Sketchy=me, Shelly Ketchum
And now, I can totally see Jackson obsessing about how this is not officially correct, nearest planet to the earth...pshaw! lol
That is so funny! They are so freakin cute. (Izzie is watching me type and just said I shouldn't say freakin) SO they are so cute! I miss you guys. I hate that we are so far. Keep brainwashing them=-maybe some will stick through teen years.
You just made me excited for Thanks Giving. I'm excited you're coming. I was wondering when you'd make it around these parts again (you have to come the twins huh?). Anyway, how long are you going to be here? When do you get here? I know you'll have to spend most of the time with family, but don't leave me out. Let's get Kara and go out again!
That is so funny. So cute, good job recording that conversation. I just love the conversations kids have with us moms sometimes. It just makes you love them more. I'm impressed with his knowledge.
Congratulations!! I ofcourse had no idea you were pregnant. When is your due date? Hope you not suffering from any major heartburn or indigestion! Love you!
jana! i am SO sorry that i am just now getting this to you. here is amber's email: ambostew@hotmail.com
