"Can I do homework?"

"Mama, can I have pancake?"

Sitting and waiting for me to make them he tells me: "When I'm bigger I want to drive to get money... To buy food and pictures and table... And lotion for Mama and Baba."
What?
"Lotion, I said!"

With the last of his pancake, he rolled it in a ball and said: "Is this a elephant? He has feet and his back opens. Oh, no tail! Wee, wee, wee..." As he hops it along his plate. Strange imagination.

I know there's more than enough photos of NJ eating all the time. But I was so excited about making food at home again, using the kitchen, and sitting down comfortably to eat. 

"Can I do homework?" Sure! He has some left over sheets of homework from his class and wants to do them. I'm happy he's enthusiastic about it, hopefully it'll last.

NJ came in the room while I was still sleeping and he was already dressed again. He was ready to go and I wasn't! I woke up to him breathing on me. And Baba got dressed without seeing NJ first. This happens a lot- the two of them dressing alike. Today it was jeans and a yellow shirt. Silly boys.
