Jack is OBSESSED with the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
Since it hit DVD on 1/5, he has watched it at least 50 times and asks for it DAILY. Ben even can quote some of the funny moments in the movie. Sometimes as soon as it ends, Jack wants to watch it again.
The worst part is, I have not gotten tired of it.
After it got a horrid review on At the Movies, I had little hope for it. But, if you are a fan of the current SNL cast, you will like it. The humor is definitely aimed at adults as well as kids. I find myself finding hidden jokes each successive time I see the movie. It cracks me up and we all quote dialogue around the house like inside jokes.
I have a feeling this will be played multiple times on the drive down to Florida next week.

Smooshi/Soosee
Jack recently tried saying sushi and it came out sounding like the title of this post. Just a random observation. Speaking of which, here is some of the latest about the two Maidy boys.
Jack:
He is very verbal these day, more than ever before. He asks tons of questions and some of them are very deeply layered. It is very cool watching him grow up like this. Sometimes I forget that he is only 3 years old. I will have to post some of the amazing things he says so that anyone reading this knows what I mean. He has taken to telling me that I am his best friend and he loves me very much. He also says this to Taylor, Ben, and Sam.
The best example I can think of came last night:
"Jack, you know tomorrow is the Valentine's Party at daycare, right?"
"Party? It is not my birthday."
"I know, it is a party for Valentine's Day"
"It...is....not...my....birthday....I said!"
"I know Jack, it is a party to share Valentine's cards and show everyone how much you love them."
"Oh...(exasperated groan)....I'm busy."

Ben
Ben is a big kid. He also has a terrible temper. He is constantly swiping and scratching Jack. Jack does not retaliate, which is good. Ben also screams. He will yell and it is impossible to tell if he is happy or mad. He will also let loose a tirade of yells and crying if he is not fed promptly at each meal time. It can be very, very frustrating.
Below is a somewhat comprehensive list of Ben's words these days:
Banana
Yes
No
Bye
Thank You (more of a sound than a word, but he knows what it means"
Notebook
And Beyond
Mama
Dada
Fish
I am sure I am missing some. He needs to communicate more and I am sure it will alleviate a lot of his frustration and anger. I hope.

The Jerks
Sometimes it is hard to remember that they are only little kids.
Sometimes you get very mad and have to bite your tongue because they don't know any better.
Ben has an ear infection and has been very cranky. He also has a short fuse when it comes to mealtime and if he is not fed promptly he screams and whines and cries. As soon as he eats, he is fine.
Jack has entered a picky phase. He does not eat for very minute reasons and will forgo some of his favorite foods for no apparent reason. These are common 3 year old things to do.
But they are very frustrating and annoying.
Today, stepping back, the boys were pretty good overall.
Ben screamed when he wanted lunch.
Jack was very picky about lunch.
Jack would not stay down for his nap.
3 issues in an eight hour day. Not too bad. They seem worse in the thick of it because I have lots of work to do and they can get very loud.
After they go to bed and I think back I am sure I will realize it was rough but not Armageddon.
Sometimes it is easier to think they are pissy little men rather than tiny little kids.

The Wolf Suit
I would love to get this for Jack! The movie was fantastic and he LOVES the book. Too bad they are on back-order until after Halloween. This is not the "official" costume but it looks close enough. Plus, anything more than the $75 this costs is ridiculous (Even $75 is pretty pricey!)Click here for the website selling the costume.
