The right answer -- really?

For some reason Jairus thinks he is 3. I don’t know why. But whenever he is asked “how old are you?” he always says 3. It doesn’t matter how many times we correct him or how adamant we are that he is only 2. Even when Joe asks him in Spanish “¿Cuántos años tienes?” Jairus answers “tres años.”

At some point this afternoon, Joe was working with Jairus to answer this simple question -- correctly. So, tonight after dinner I asked him how old he is. This time the answer was “2..3.” And this time when I corrected him he told me “This is the right answer!”

We repeated this sequence several times…and each time I was told that “2…3. This is the right answer.”

Maybe it is the right answer. This time in 2006 we announced our pregnancy...so that would be 3 years ago! :)

Here are a few recent pictures just for fun. I have a long list of blogging topics...I will write again!

This is NOT a posed picture. For some strange reason, Jairus has decided that he wants to sleep in his toy box. Joe took this picture this afternoon and yes, Jairus really is asleep.

To say that Jairus LOVES this train set would be the understatement of the century! This hand-me-down toy is his favorite. (Thanks Andrew for sharing!)

"I'm working too" says Jairus from his computer. Whatever mommy and daddy are doing, Jairus is "doing too."

He ate half of his first ham and cheese sandwich before he decided that it was "nasty."
