You can hardly call this a job...

I absolutely love my job this summer. Yes, it is sometimes hard to think of things to do all day with a 22-month old but this little tike makes it difficult to become bored.

Dining like a King with his two blankies behind his head

This week has gone by fast compared to last week though. I think it's because I kind of have a hang on things and my schedule etc... Plus he's warmed up to me. I know this because I got my first slap on the face by him yesterday. His brothers say he only hits, scratches, and pinches people he is comfortable with, which means I guess I'm in that category now. I've gotten his lingo down too. At first I was confused but now I know what his little dictionary contains.
For example...

Di-doo: Thank you

example of Johnny saying "no"

oh: no

ee: yes

ba-ba: bottle

da-n-me: that wasn't me

shoos: juice

way-go: where'd it go?

babby: either baby or Abby but I can't tell

Although I yearn for real adult conversation during the day I love it when he talks. He says thank you for everything and says it more than any other phrase. One of my favorite conversations with him though is when I ask if he's stinky and he says "no" with his face scrunched up, then after I check and find that he really is stinky he gets this little smirk on his face as if saying "haha I fooled you." But then he smiles the cutest little smile with slight puppy dog eyes and you can't help but laugh, which makes him laugh....although it doesn't take much to make him laugh.
The other conversation is when he burps or makes a little sound from the other end. I'll looked surprised and he responds by looking around and shaking his head while saying "da-n-me," meaning "that's not me." haha man you've got to love this little rascal. He'll definitely be breaking a lot of girls hearts when he's older.
