Jay and his little brother

I think when my second prince comes along, Jay will have a mighty fine time talking to his little brother!

Here’s his take on certain things…

On sharing his toys:

Mommy: When Didi comes, will you share your toys with him?

Jay: No.

Mommy: Erm, how about the toys you are not playing with anymore?

Jay: Huh?

Mommy: You know, the baby toys you have in the box. Not your animals or puzzles, but those baby toys.

Jay: (considering) Hmm… OK. Can.

On playing with Didi:

Mommy: You will have so much fun playing with Didi next time!

Jay: (smiles widely)

Pause while Jay digests what I’ve said…

Jay: After playing, will Didi go back in? (Pointing to my tummy)

Mommy: No sweetheart, once Didi comes out, he is out. For good.

On Christmas Day & presents-time:

Jay: Why is my elephant puppet wrapped up? (Present courtesy of Aunty Sharon)

Mommy: Because it is a Christmas present, and you can only open your presents on Christmas day.

Jay: When is Christmas?

Mommy: Coming soon, baby. (I doubt he understands the concept of “two weeks later”)

Fast-forward to another conversation…

Jay to Aunty/Grandma/Aunty Umah (or anyone who’ll listen): Mommy says I can open my presents tomorrow!

[This is my fault. Tomorrow does seem “soon” to an almost-three-year-old!]
