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.
