Big or Little?

I read this book to Jonah tonight. I don't love it. I actually changed the words a little as I read, because I think that certain things might make you FEEL little, but it doesn't mean you ARE little!

Anyway, after the story we talked a little bit about 'big' and 'little'. He decided on the following categories:

Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt Tracy are all big, as are elephants. Miles, Jonah, friends Emily & Olivia, and mice, are little. I think he gets it!

Anyway, then Jonah proceeded to tell me that when he's big he'll have hair in his armpits! But then he said he will shave it off like Daddy. OK, let me set the record straight here. Glenn shaves his neck, face and head, but NOT his armpits! But that reminds me, a few weeks ago Jonah told me Mommy's razor was for shaving Mommy's back! Oh dear! I don't shave my back! We have some clarifying to do as this boy grows up! In the meantime, I'm glad that most people aren't able to understand Jonah's language ("Jonish") to the degree that I do.

I asked Jonah if he is going to have a band like Daddy when he grows up. He said "yeah" so I asked him if he was going to play guitar or bass guitar, but as predicted, he said, "No. Drums!"

Yes, drumming is a huge obsession for Jonah right now. It may be getting out of hand. I've mentioned before that anthing stick-like becomes a drum stick and that anything else then can be a drum, right? Well today, Miles & I came downstairs to get Jonah out of bed from his nap. We went in and Jonah told us he was playing drums ("bumf"). The drum sticks? Two soothers. The drums? A couple of plush toys and a blankee. Silent drums? Very interesting. Then this afternoon's SMALL amount of playdough eventually became a mini-drum-kit. That one didn't make much noise either, but he was sure pleased!
