Planetary Commentary

Around our house the last little while we have had quite a few snippets of conversation relating to the solar system.

Uranus

The other day the boys were watching a video that introduced the planets and then showed some pictures of each one.  After they introduced Uranus and then started showing pictures of it, this is what proceded between Austin and Matthew:

Matthew  (pointing to one of the pictures on the screen) Anus!
Austin  No, not anus! YUR-anus.
Matthew  (trying again) Anus?
Austin  No!  It's YUR-anus, YUR-anus, YUR-anus.  Say it right!
Matthew  YUR-anus?
Austin  Right.  YUR-anus.

(I'm sure you can figure out which pronunciation the video used based on the humor I found on that exchange.)

Jupiter

On a sweeter note, every night when the kids go to bed they come and give me a hug and a kiss and tell me that they love me.  Some time in the last month or so Austin has started finishing this routine by saying, "Mommy, I love you all the way to Jupiter and back!"  Then in the last few nights he has elaborated to say, "Mommy, I love you all the way to Jupiter and back and back and back and back and back!" while pointing his finger back and forth between an imaginary Earth and Jupiter.  Matthew, who doesn't have it quite right, has started saying, "I love you to earth and back and back and back!" while pointing back and forth as well. 

I love these boys!
