"...when he grows up."

It is so much fun to hear the things that kids say and the ideas about life that they have. I over heard the cutest conversation between Jacob and his friend Jayden the other day.

Jayden: I know where your dad is—He’s at work.
Jacob: Nope.
Jayden: Here’s taking a nap?
Jacob: Nope. He’s flying in a real airplane.
Jayden: Really?
Jacob: Yep. He's taking flying lessons and he is going to be a pilot when he grows up.
Jayden: Isn’t he already grown up?
Jacob: Nope.

Obviously Jacob doesn’t talk much, but it is profound to hear the things he will say. I always like to think that I am young, but assume my kids think I am old. It is nice to hear that Jacob realizes that we still have a lot of growing up to do too.

That is so funny. Ben is always telling John that he (john) will be tall like a giant (just like Ben), and that we will all be super tall someday. Too cute!

roflol that's too cute!! I always feel the same way when kids look at me (and just had Jacob tell me the other day that I'm old :-P) so it's nice to know that somewhere...that realization is still there :-)

Jacob is very insightful of course his dad isn't grown up yet. he is a child at heart. Which isn't a bad thing
