"gobucks!!!"

Jasper really, truly thinks that playing with a ball is called "go bucks!!" (always said all as one word and always with MUCH excitement). We think this stems from cheerin' on the OSU football season and then March Madness came along and confirmed this in his mind as he heard us cheering, "Go Bucks!!" at the top of our lungs.

Whenever he sees anyone, of any age, race, color, or ethnicity, playing with any ball, whether it's a bouncy ball, football, basketball, baseball, tennis ball, etc, he thinks what they are doing is "gobucks!!" instead of "playing with a ball", "throwing a ball", "holding a ball", etc. and he LOVES to announce to all within the nearby zipcodes (you folks in Georgia could probably hear him, too) that "da guy is GOBUCKS!" (aka "the guy is holding a tennis ball")

So whenever Jasper wants to play with a ball, he says, "Momma? Gobucks!!!? please gobucks!!?"

It's so stinkin' cute, it's the one thing in life that I can't bare to correct him on b/c it just melts my heart to pieces.

This morning, we had such a wonderful, lazy Sat morning playing "gobucks!!!" with Jasper's new ball that he got from Wal-Mart (or "Wammm-Art" as he calls it) last night. It was such a treat!!
