Funny?

Jif has a wild sense of humor.  For the last week, whenever he says something he looks at me and says "Funny?" and waits for me to affirm whether that was funny.  Sometimes he is right on when asking about funny, for instance he will say "Goofy, funny?" but sometimes he is not, for instance when he hits Reese and then asks "Funny?" No..Not funny.  Jif has always been the class clown and he loves an audience, which is a problem because when he gets wild Reese always laughs and then there is no stopping him.  I know that I might have to talk to his teachers about this in the future when he is in grade school.

The other day my husband got Jif dressed for bed, he put on pajama bottoms and an Old Navy Christmas shirt from 2010 with a picture of Santa on it.  Jif walked out and I asked "What's on your shirt?"  Jif replied "Christmas!"  I said, "Right, but who is that a picture of on your shirt?"  Jif was quiet so I said, "Is that Santa on your shirt?"  Jif replied, no mama, it's not Santa, it's God".  I'm glad he knows the true meaning of Christmas.

Jif:  Last night my husband came to me asking if Jif was really saying that he was afraid of a cow in his room when he was tucking him in.  I said that I didn't know.  Today while I was tucking Jif into his bed for his nap Jif said, "Scared cow!" I said, "A cow?"  He said, "Yeah mama, scared cow, moo moo."  I said, "Where is the cow?"  He said, "It's right there, see it?"  I said, "In the crib?" and he replied "Yeah".  So I removed the invisible cow from the crib across from his bed and told the cow that he was not allowed in Jif's room.  I am currently listening to my husband tuck Jif into bed tonight and Jif is saying he is still scared of the cow in the crib.  I've heard of monsters under the bed, lions in the closet, but cows in the crib?
Lately Jif has been saying that he's scared of a lot of things, two of which being bunnies and potties.  I'm ok if he wants to be afraid of a bunny, but he is not allowed to be afraid of the potty.

Jif: Lately Jif has been telling us that his favorite food is corn and how yummy it is.  Unfortunately he uses a "p" instead of a "c" to start the word corn.  We are working hard to fix that one.

Reese:  Jif has been going around the house singing "ee iii eee iii ooo" (Old McDonald).  Reese has quickly caught on and whenever Jif starts up she sings along "eee iiii eee iii eee iii".  Isn't she a little young to be doing that?  At first I thought it was a coincidence but she has done it a dozen times now while he is singing.  I think she is going to be an early talker.
