Something In My Nose…

D’Lo, playing in the living-room…calls loudly to me in the kitchen:

“Maw-meee…Maw-meeeeeeeeee!”

“Yes, Baby?” I call back

“Maw-meeee…I got sunk-ting in my nose!”

“Well, come in here and let me see.”  I reply

He trots his cute, tiny, barely three year old frame into the kitchen and stops right in front of me, tilting his head back while I take a look.

“I don’t see anything, Baby.”  I say

“Well, ummmm, I tink it’s….it’s a beenana or sunk-ting!”

As I start to laugh out loud at his thought, a mischievous smile creeps across his face and he continues…

“No, no… I tink it’s a orange or sunk-ting!”

(Me, still laughing)

“No, no…it’s a diamond!”

…So apparently today, my baby boy had a banana, an orange and a diamond in his very small nose!

I love you, D’Lo!!!
