2011-10-29: Baking Dream

Nigel half-awoke while Mom and Dad were going to bed this evening. Nigel hadn't had a nap, and was surely very tired. He started talking about something, and Mom went in to check on him. He told her, "I dropped the baking sheets the cookies were baking on."
"We haven't baked the cookies yet," Kelly said, "we didn't have time."
"I got out lots of jars that have good things for Dad and I to eat on Sunday," Nigel replied.

2011-09-30: Pirates Wear Life Jackets

Talking with Jared (neighbor). He asked Nigel what he was going to be for Halloween. Nigel gets very excited about that question and usually just says, "Arrr!," never failing to emphasize the word nor neglecting to add his arm motions to it. He usually feels it unnecessary to even clarify that means pirate, just considers it implied.

Jared asked what else pirates say, and Nigel replied, "Yo ho," and, "Walk the plank, matey." Jared then asked if walking the plank were a good or bad thing. Nigel said, "It means jumping into the water, so you need to wear a life jacket."
