"Flem color chart"

Driving to school this morning Jack tells me that he "throws up into his mouth a lot". So I asked if it was throw up or mucous. He says he has no idea he usually just swallows it. So I ask him to spit it out in a napkin next time because if it is just mucous from a cold that is fine but if it really is throw up we should probably tell the doctor.
  Fast forward seven hours. We are driving back home from school. I no longer remember this morning's conversation. He says, so I made you a "flem chart. I drew some mucous on the cover so that it isn't too boring". He then unrolls a chart and begins to read, " 1st flem color-there is not enough lighting in the boys bathroom so I am not exactly sure if the color I saw was correct. 2nd and 3rd flem colors are exact.". I later saw the chart. It is by far one of my favorite things any of my children has ever created. I am keeping this one for all times sake. 
 That he took my concern so seriously and then charted it both cracks me up and impresses me. 
It  made my day. When finally I saw it and read his phonetic spelling of "egzaktly" I loved it all the more.
