Eye Candy

Ok, I promised some new pictures and I'm sure you're ready for them after a series of boring, text-only entries. Here's a shot from tonight, just before bedtime. See more photos here.

They were having so much fun together in Jake's room - jumping off his bed, rolling around on Jake's sleeping bag, and then climbing up on the rocking chair together (yep, Sadie climbed up on her own). Watching them play together, I always think of the Woody Allen movie Sweet and Lowdown. If you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth the rental. Sean Penn plays a 1930's jazz guitarist who's kind of a sympathetic scoundrel, who falls for a mute girl, who in turn loves him unconditionally, despite his sometimes derisive treatment of her. There are so many scenes in that movie where he talks and talks about himself to her and she just nods and smiles and loves him with her eyes. Jake doesn't play guitar very well yet, but he talks and talks to Sadie, and often pushes her around, and she just stares back at him and smiles and loves him. So, has anyone seen this movie? Maybe I should stick to mainstream movie references. Anyway, this was supposed to be a post all about the visuals. Here's a little movie starring Captain Hook (played by Jake) as he fights Peter Pan (played by Ali's index finger):

And here's a video of Jake giving us his favorite quotes from Finding Nemo:

"What's the crab say?"
"Says: HEY HEY HEY (in Australian accent)"
"And what does Nemo say?"
"Nemo says: 'I don't need any help'"
"And what does Dory say?"
"Dory says: 'You need help'"
"And what does Nemo's daddy say?"
"????"

Tune in next week when Jake reads from "To Kill a Mockingbird".
