Using the lingo

Jamie is very sensitive to the meaning and usage of words and phrases. He asks what words mean all the time and is very quick to use them in context. Sometimes this results in very adult-sounding comments, many of which begin with "Actually..." or "In fact..."

Today, he used some of the lingo from the neighborhood. He and I were doing some work in the backyard and garden. Jamie was actually being fairly helpful, ferrying plants for me, watering and digging some holes. We talked about how happy Mommy would be to come and see the work we had done and he said "Yeah! 'Cause that's how WE roll!"
