Me: Umm no dear.
Cue Byron rolling on the floor in laughter. Cue extra ab work for me.
My little sweetie…
Me: Payton pie, Mommy has a headache.
PJ: Oh no, you don’t feel good? Can I put a Band-Aid on your head and give you some medicine? Can I give you hugs and kisses? Do you need some little snuggles?

PJ: Daddy! Daddy! YOU have to move it out of MY way!
PJ: Mama what time is it?
Me: 3:30
PJ: Oh ok.
PJ: What time is it?
Me: Still 3:30.
PJ: Oh ok, I see.
PJ: What time is it?

PJ: NO!
Me: That’s two.

Her best friend Georgie-bug:
