yup, that's my boy

I find myself asking my 7-year-old for assistance more and more these days. There are just those times that I do not have enough hands to do all that I need to do in the moment, so a quick call out and I have an assistant. The other day I asked J to sit with the baby, who was happy in his bouncy seat on the living room floor, while I did something for the toddler. I was just in the other room, but within earshot, and this is what I overheard:

"Hey baby C! Are you so happy? Are you happier than when you were in the darkness of your mommy's womb?"

He must have gone close to the baby to snuggle him, because this is what I heard next:

"Oh, baby C! My nose isn't a breast!"

What other 7-year-old boy says these things? Oh, how I do love him.
