Jack's Lettuce

Jack and I had a playdate with our friend and famed photographer, Annie and her girls this morning.  We drove to Durham to go to the Museum of Life and Science and Jack was so excited to hang with Annie's girls.  Norah is 7 and Kristen is 4 and they were as smitten with Jack as he was with them.  Norah was like a mother duck with Jack.  She was always engaging him and holding his hand and trying to carry him around as much as possible.  Kristen also loved holding Jack's hand, but would occasionally be distracted by something shiny.

And there's a littler dinosaur

Throughout the day, we kept calling the girls "Jack's Ladies" and they loved their new title.  After exploring the museum inside and out, we had some lunch before Jack and I headed home for naps.  When we were packing up and getting ready to head out, one of the girls said, "Jack, you need your lettuce".  I was confused and asked what his lettuce was and I was quickly corrected by Annie, who said, "That's the fancy way of saying his ladies".  So Jack took a hold of his lettuce  and we were off.  Jack has since been missing the ladies and would very much like to see them again...soon (hint, hint)!
