"Jo-Jo"

We are blessed to have several couples that we can hang out with on a regular basis that also have kids. They both have girls, Addy and Savvy, so Colt is the only boy in the mix. But that's ok by him ... he can be quit the flirt.

Last night we all had a wedding to go to so the kids came over to our house so that they could play together and we could share a sitter. Addy and Savvy both have a stuffed animal that they love. It is a small, used-to-be-fluffy pet dog. Addy started it off by naming her little puppy "Jo-Jo". Then, when Savvy turned 1 Addy gave her a "Jo-Jo" of her own. The girls take their "Jo-Jo" dogs everywhere and even though they are the same stuffed animal, they know which is which.

The kids were all in bed last night when we got back from the wedding so we didn't get to talk to Colt after his little play date. This morning we were downstairs playing with Colt and he started asking for "Jo-Jo". We thought it was cute and dismissed it. But he kept saying "Jo-Jo, Jo-Jo, JO-JO"! He got so worked up, as only Colt can, so I handed him a giraffe stuffed animal that Addy gave him when he was born. He got so excited that he dropped to the ground and clapped for me. For the rest of the afternoon he would ask for "Jo-Jo", I would hand him the giraffe and he would clap for my understanding.

It is so cute to see him growing up and catching on to what items are called. It is hard to think that my baby is now a little boy but I would not trade the process for anything.
