Yesterday Jon David got to pick out his big boy undies. He chose Cars and Diego ("Go-go-go" in Jon David speak) Briefs, of course. Eleanor said it was only fair that get some new panties, too. She originally wanted Dora ones to match Jon David's Diegos, but I masterfully talked her out of them. I really have nothing against Dora, but the thought of Eleanor running around with itty bitty Doras all over her rear end just didn't sit right with me. So she is now the proud owner of 3 pairs of pink Pony panties...with sparkles.
So, now comes the time of trying to actually get him into the undies. Not wanting Jonathan to miss out on the fun, I save this until he gets home from work. The first pair we put him in are white with blue trim and a big Diego on the butt. Jon David ruuuuuuuuns very excitedly to the full length mirror and immediately gets this look of complete confusion. "Where Gogogo, Mommy?" He doesn't realize that Diego's on the rear and to actually see it, you have to twist yourself around in the mirror. So I show him how you turn around and look over your shoulder and...Eureka! "There Gogogo, Mommy!!" He's so proud.
Suddenly he turns, leaves the room and comes back in with the other five pair...which he insists on trying on, too. He finally decides his favorite pair are black with hot purple trim and have the lowrider from Cars, Ramone (Mamone in JD speak) airbrushed on the butt. Classy.
So, You have to picture it...Here's fatty Jon David - big grin on his face, completely neckie except for his new black and purple undies, peering over his shoulder, rubbing his butt, whispering "Mamone...". I wish to God I had the whole episode on video. Jonathan does a pretty darn remarkable impression though, if you ever want to see it!
On a more sentimental note, Jonathan walked by the stairs last night and Eleanor was sitting at the top of the landing. He told her that it was night time and she needed to go hop back in bed. She "Okay, Daddy, I just wanted to see Mommy's smile.". Ahhh...gravy.
