Conversations with JJ: talk, talk, talk!

JJ's become quite the talker suddenly. He cracks me up all the time. He's taken to calling everyone "baby", but since he oozes cool, he pronounces it "baybay".

Mommy: JJ, why did you just hit KK?

JJ: 'Cause me want to, baby!

If you're thinking it must be hard to correct him when he's so darn cute, you'd be right. Fortunately, I'm quite aware that parenting is not supposed to be easy!


The other night, he snuck out of bed and saw me working on Daddy's computer.

JJ: *big charming smile* Why you work Daddy's 'puter mommy?

Mommy: I'm just helping daddy with some work.

JJ: Why you not daddy yet, mommy?

Mommy: Not a daddy yet? JJ, a daddy is not the next level after a mommy...

JJ: Mommy, s'ok. You be big like daddy sometime.


Another night, I was lying in bed and JJ kept asking me the same question over and over:

JJ: Mommy why you wearing pants?

Mommy: I always wear pants.

After the fourth or fifth time, I decided to ask him silly questions to see if I could get him to change the subject.

Mommy: JJ, why are you wearing JJ?

JJ: *big sigh* I no know, mommy. People like look at me, I guess.
