"Why am I a baby the other day?"

We took NJ to go pick out a piñata. I could have guessed he'd want what he chose. As soon as he saw it he yelled, "Angry Bird! I want Angry Bird!" We still made him look around the entire place to see if that's really what he wants. There were so many cool ones. He liked Nemo, Lighting McQueen, Thomas, and a cow. But he still chose the Angry Bird, there was only one red one left. Ha, ha. This is going to be fun! 

He was asking, "Why my birthday is taking for so long? Why it's not another year yet? Why am I a baby the other day?" 

After dinner, he was looking at some ads and started pointing out stuff he wanted. This was a surprise to me because he never asks for stuff like he did today. He was showing me pictures and saying, "Mama, I want this and I want this..." I don't know where he picked this up, but I didn't like it at all.

I said, "Please don't say, I want. Say, I like... It sounds a lot better."

NJ- "But I want it."

M- "What gave you the idea that we were buying you stuff?" 

NJ- "But I gave you money."

M- "When?"

NJ- "I gave you money when I was a baby. You got money when I was a baby."

M- "What? Where's the money?"

NJ- "I don't know."

So strange!

Yesterday Baba took apart a small vacuum that we picked up at a yard sale. He cleaned it out and made sure it worked properly. NJ watched and he must have been inspired to take apart his own today. 

I was laying on the couch watching him play next to me. He asked me to play with him and said, "Why you laying down?"

M- "Mama's not feeling that well."

NJ- "Aww, that's not good." (with his cute pouty frown)

M- "I know. I'm sorry I'm not playing with you.

NJ- "It's ok. I will pray for you so you feel better. Dear Jesus, thank you for Mama. Help her to not feel bad anymore. In Jesus name, Amen. 

M- "Thank you, baby, I love you so much. You're the sweetest!"
