When AJ has to go down for his 4:30pm nap, which is becoming less and less frequent of late, since he's doing pretty OK on just a 2.5-hour midday nap (so growing up!!), he usually lays quietly in the crib and plays teacher. I say that because he calls out, as if from a list, each and every name of his loyal friends and relations:
"Mama?"
"Ah-ba-dah?" (Napoleon.)
"Dada?"
"Beer?" (Bear.)
"Lola?"
"Jo Jo?"
"Beer?"
"Mama?"
"Polie?" (also Napoleon.)
"Paci?"
"Bob?" (The Builder.)
"Lola?"
"Bop?" (Baby Bop. Distinguishable from Bob.)
"Ba-dee?" (Barney.)
...and then, even down to the lowliest of the low, his friend,
"Boo-boo?" (Poo Poo.)
No kidding.
I sit by the monitor and grin.
