Monday with PJ

PJ has been entertaining us with his words lately, more sentences and sharing his ideas and feelings.
My favorite repeats this past week have been about Daddy.
Daddy lost his sunglasses while playing golf last week.  This is significant for a number of reasons.  PJ has a pair of sunglasses that he picked out because they were just like Daddy's.  Ry and I have been encouraging/reminding PJ to be gentle to his sunglasses, to be careful with them, and to just wear them.  So when Daddy came home without his sunglasses, PJ couldn't believe it. 
Since losing the glasses PJ is repeatedly saying "Daddy, sunglasses, golf," and shakes his head back and forth, not good Daddy.  Funniest part of all of this is that Ry knew that I wouldn't be too thrilled if he lost another pair of expensive sunglasses, but I haven't said a word.  PJ has made Ry feel so bad about his mistake.  I have found myself defending Ry telling PJ that "Daddy is so silly, next time he will be more careful." 
We have used this mistake as a lesson, that we make mistakes and we can say sorry and label the mistake silly, instead of being ashamed or punishing for a mistake.  I think PJ is getting it because now PJ uses the word silly, that sounds like "Siddy" whenever we make a goof.  We say "oops sorry, I forgot X" or "oops we put your socks on first, then your shoes."  PJ laughs and says "Siddy Momma" or "Siddy Daddy."
Speaking of sunglasses, PJ is wearing his more often and it is precious!  He looks like quite the cool dude.  So sometimes when I look at him in the car while he is wearing the glasses, I say to him "You are one cool dude!"  Recently he has responded back with "Poppy cool dude?"  Yep, Poppy is a cool dude.  "Daddy?" Yep, Daddy is a cool dude.  Then he asks, "G dude?" to which I say G is a dudette, because she is a girl.  Then he tries out who else is a dudette.  I enjoy these conversations; seeing his little brain categorize and try out words, testing their meaning and our reaction.
