Highlighting Jamey's imagination:
Jim has started teaching Jamey about "taking off your nose". Jamey loves this taking it literally in an imaginative way. Today Jim took off Jamey's nose and put it back. Jamey then proceeds to "take off and eat" Jim's nose, eyes, mouth and ears. Jim looks at Jamey and says, "May I have my head back?" Jamey looks at him and says quite clearly, "No you may not."
We both cracked up laughing. I love my kids!
