It's me! Jay Jay!

So the cutest thing has been happening the past couple of days. Kierstin just finished a Girl Scout Day camp where the theme was the Lion King. They made the kids little costumes to demonstrate their little groups. Kierstin was an elephant and I was helping with an older group and got to be a monkey. The costumes consisted of a headband with ears attached and a tail. I didn't have the tail but got my own ears. I brought them home and promptly gave them to the kids. Jaydin (2) had a blast playing with them. He put them on and made monkey noises. He started chasing Landin (12) and having great fun. Landin was nice and played along. He pretended to be terrified of the mean monkey who wanted to eat him. He ran and pretended to hide by covering his face with a pillow. Jaydin thought this was hilarious but when Landin wouldn't come out he felt the need to reassure him. He was still laughing but still kept trying to get Landin to come out of hiding. He pulled on the pillow and said "I not a monkey. It's me, Jay Jay." He kept saying it over and over again. It was so cute! I've never heard him call himself by name. I was very amused that when he did he chose the nickname Kierstin gave him. It's amusing because Billy doesn't like that nickname. His initials aren't JJ, they are JW so we shouldn't call him Jay Jay. Joke's on you now....he's calling himself Jay Jay. I love it! Jay Jay is way cuter than JW anyway. :)
