amazing things joseph has said this week -- jet plane edition

to state that joseph has been obsessed with jet planes since our trip to colorado would be ... an understatement.

some of what we have heard around these parts this week:

"wow, look at all those other jet planes taking off down the runway." (in the car, sorry, jet plane, on the way to target)

"i hope that i dream about jet planes all night long."

"let's talk about things that are cool about jet planes." (opening up the conversation at our second breakfast)

"you like prop planes, jude?"

"how about your name can be pilot-in-training instead of mama?" (after i suggested jet plane for his new name)

"jophes. maybe like prop-plane-jophes." (telling his new friend, miss abby, his name)

"what's that place where the planes go up and down? take off and land? oh, the cell phone lot. maybe we should go to the cell phone lot." (jeremy took the boys to both louisville airports. amazing.)

"hey, mama, i have a secret for you. let's watch jet plane videooooooss.." (whispered in my ear at approximately 7:12 am)

"it roars down the runway. faster and faster, then up in the air. they are on their way..."(direct quote from airport)(also around 7:12 am)

"i love you to the end of the flight." (sigh. thank you, prop-plane-joseph.)

"it's a good day in the country, pilot." (my favorite. joseph's expression of joy and contentment and good feelings all around is "it's a good day in the country.")


my next post is going to be entitled "objects around our home that are not jet planes that have been made into jet planes that i cannot get a non-blurry photo of as jet planes because the pilot is always moving and narrating the jet plane taking off and flying and landing." although, after this incident, we made three jet planes out of a shoebox and have since visited once upon a child to find the jet plane puzzle we went looking for and a toy prop plane.

"mama, can you believe this garbage truck is also a jet plane?" yes. yes, i can. :)
