DYLAN:  Why do firemen go down fire poles instead of really fast slides?

A helium balloon floated to our dining room ceiling.  Isaac pulled a chair beneath the balloon, stood upon the chair, and reached with his right hand as high as he could.  He was just five or six feet too short.  It was a noble effort.

Dylan likes a Kate Nash song:  'I'm never ever ever going to unglue my lips from being together'.  He asked, 'How can she talk, if her lips are glued together?'  Similarly he asked on our car journey today, 'How can we be out of petrol, if the car is still moving?'

Dylan has become very good at climbing on climbing frames and climbing walls.  He is the best in the playground, in fact.

Isaac says 'banana' (actually 'Nana', while holding a toy banana) and then 'Papa'.  He also says 'teddy' when holding a stuffed bear.

DYLAN:  When I grow up, I want to be a parking officer, because I would be good at it.
