JP is my three-year-old grandson. He and his mom and dad and their English bulldog live with us while their new house is being built.  One of the best things about having them there is spending time talking with him. It makes me hopeful for the next generation.  He is so wise and so much fun!  

A quick JP conversation from the other night:

Me:  Hi, did you take a bath?  Your hair is all wet…

JP:  Yes!  (Nearly smacking me in the nose so I can smell his hair.)

Me:  What does that smell like?  Is that your shampoo?

JP:  It’s fruit.  (Whispering)  Nana, I took a shower!

Me:  Ooh, that’s great.  You’re getting so grown up!

JP: Want to smell under my arm?

And…no.
