Jonathan Stories

Just thought I’d share a couple of Jonathan stories from the last week. The first one comes from last Wednesday morning. I had an early meeting, so I left for work before anyone else in the house was even awake. And just as my meeting was about to start, I got a text message from Miriam, “Jon just pooped in the toy box.”

I was in meetings all day, so I didn’t get the full story until later. Apparently, it went something like this:
Miriam was upstairs helping Mikaela get ready for school. Jon had gone on downstairs, still wearing his pull-up and a nightshirt. Miriam looked down from the landing, and saw Jonathan standing in the entry hall naked as a jaybird. They had the following conversation:
Miriam: Jonathan, where’s your pull-up?
Jonathan: I put it in the garbage.
M: Why did you put your pull-up in the garbage?
J: I put poopy in the toybox. I forgot to use the potty.
M:
The good news – Jonathan actually took ALL of the toys out of the overflowing toybox before leaving behind his “deposit,” so cleanup wasn’t too bad.

Today, on the way home from daycare, sweetheart Jonathan says,
“Mudder’s Day’s comin’ up. I’m gonna make you a present.”
“Do you like snakes?”
