SPL: I'm going to teach you about this seed, mommy . You put it in the dirt and water it. It's a lettuce seed.
KEH: So when it grows to be a big plant what will it be?
SPL: It makes lettuce. Seedy lettuce. Seedy lettuce with poppy seeds

SPL is really into squeezing super-tight when he hugs me sometimes and this morning, after giving me one such hug he said "I gave you some of my bones mommy."
*******************************
this morning, I heard him singing a song he'd learned from Teacher Wendolyn yesterday called 5 little pumpkins:
5 little pumpkins sitting on a gate
when a witch came flying by.
She took 1 little pumpkin and flew away
to make a pumpkin pie.
And I heard his footsteps running back and forth from our bedroom to the kitchen. After 2 rounds I realized what he was doing: he'd set up his fort building pillars in our room (I'd seen that part) and he was pretending they were pumpkins and he was the witch carrying them into the kitchen.
I went to watch and he said with his usual enthusiasm: "wanna be a witch mom?"
who doesn't!
