New Pajamas & an Anatomy Lesson

One of my very favorite things is a little boy, just out of the bathtub, in new pajamas. Especially this little boy!

He is very into the body lately. Maybe it's because Daddy is studying eyes and the brain a lot. James loves to ask Daddy questions about what he is studying, so Daddy tells him all about it - and James eats it all up, he just loves it!

The other night as I was trying to put him to bed, James just could not stop talking about his body! Here is the little anatomy lesson he gave me (or at least a small sampling...he went on and on and on...)

Mommy, let me tell you what is in your ears. There's like, a straight thing that goes from this ear all the way to the other ear. And then the bugs can go in and out.

Actually, let me tell you what is in your eyes. There's like, flicks. There's like, round things, and eyebrows and stuff.

Actually, let me tell you what is in my foot. [pointing to his toes] There's like little bones, and other little tiny bones. 

Let me tell you what is in your head. There's like bones, and your brain, and things.

Actually, let me tell you what's in here [pointing to his leg and knee] - there's a big bone, and it turns! [pointing at his knee]

Now, I'll tell you what's in YOU!! [pointing at my thigh] There's a bone that's really, really, really, really......[I'm thinking he's going to say how BIG it is]...It's a bone that's really, really, really, REALLY.....it's really tiny.

Mommy, let me tell you what's in your nose. There's like, boogies, and little tiny bones with boogies on them, and things.
