Jonah Jonah Jonah

This boy cracks me up.  You never know what he is going to do or say next.  Last week I took him for his five year check up.  The nurse asked me if he was allergic to anything and I said no. Jonah looked at me and yelled, "yes I am Mom, I'm allergic to peanuts."  At this point the nurse looks at me wondering if I'm crazy.  I told her again that he was not and he kept insisting that he was.  The poor nurse just kept looking back and forth at us trying to decide what was going on.  Finally I said, "Jonah you eat peanut butter sandwiches all the time, you are not allergic to peanuts."  Jonah said, "I don't see peanuts in my peanut butter."  That finally convinced the nurse that I wasn't crazy and she had a good laugh about it.  I'm not sure where that came from.  When it was time for his shots he told the nurse that he wasn't scared because he was so tough.  He hopped up on the table and watched her give him the shots.  Once the needle was in his leg he looked at the nurse and said, "ouch that hurts!"  She told him they were done and then he was fine.  He is my tough boy.

Today was Jonah's Halloween party at pre-school.  They did a little costume parade at the beginning.  He has been so excited to be Dash this year.  He tells everyone he is Dash because he is so fast. 

That is Jonah in the back of the line with his hand in his mouth being shy.  That is a side of him that we don't see very often.  He was so timid and didn't want to leave my side.  Jonah has had a rough week.  We go to story time at the library and on Monday it was super hero day and the calendar said you could wear costumes.  I told Jonah and he was so excited to wear his spiderman costume.  He was so excited all morning.  When we got to the library he noticed he was the only kid in a costume.  He immediately walked out and said he wanted to go home.  I tried to talk him into staying, but he didn't want to.   Poor kid.  When we got home he said he wanted to go see if his friend could play and I told him to go change and he said, "no I will just wear my costume."  You can never figure that kid out.

Jonah's shyness didn't last long.  He was excited to go inside for his Halloween party.  He had a great time.  His pre-school teacher is great.  She always does such fun things with them.

The boys are outnumbered in his class.  There are only three boys.  I love that they are all super hero's.  There was one other funny thing Jonah said this week.  His friend came over to ask if he could play and I told him to tell her that he couldn't play right now because we were going to eat dinner.  He went and talked to her and came back and told me, "I told her we couldn't play because we need to have an eternal family."

The kids like to color their pumpkins.  They had fun decorating them and we had some old party hats so they decided to put those on there too.  I can't believe that Halloween is already here.  We were in the store yesterday and they had all of their Christmas stuff out and Jonah kept saying, "it's not Christmas, it is Halloween."  On Saturday I gave Keith and the boys haircuts.  Jonah was really excited to get a buzz.  He kept asking me if everyone would love it. Caityn said she wanted me to cut her hair too.  I have done it once before and it went pretty well so I decided to give it a try.  It turned out a lot shorter than we were planning.  Finally Caitlyn said, "mom I don't care if it is even, just don't cut it any shorter."  Luckily she looks cute no matter what and it turned out pretty even, but I think I will take her in next time.
