“Is Baby Jacob coming???”

It is no secret that Connor would rather go to Grandma’s house (or Mimi/Papa’s house) than stay at home with Mommy and Daddy.

Keep in mind that this past weekend Connor and I took Jacob over to Grandma’s house for the first time.

Grandma has plans for Connor to sleep over this coming Saturday night.  So tonight, I told/asked Connor that he was going to spend the night at Grandma’s house this coming weekend…here is how the conversation went…

Daddy — “Connor, do you want to spend the night at Grandma’s house this weekend?”

Connor — “Uhhh?”

Daddy — “Connor, do you want to spend the night at Grandma’s house this weekend?”

Connor — [with an excited voice] “YES!”

Daddy — “Ok, you can spend the night with Grandma on Saturday.”

[I noticed Connor paused for a second and was trying to put his thoughts together, something he does when he is trying to form a new sentence or question….so I waited patiently for what he had to say.]

Connor — “Baby Jacob…Daddy coming…” [Still trying to form his sentence…]

Daddy — “What?”

Connor — “Is Daddy coming?”

Daddy — “Yes.”

Connor — “Daddy have to go home?”

Daddy — “Yes, I am going home.”

[Now for the kicker and why he started with “Baby Jacob” a couple of quotes back…]

Connor — “Is Baby Jacob coming???”

Daddy — [smiling] “No, Jacob is not going.”

Connor — [somewhat disappointed] “Why?”

Daddy — “Jacob is too little to spend the night at Grandma’s house.”

Connor — “Why?”

Daddy — “Jacob can spend the night at Grandma’s house next year and you guys can play with Grandma then.  Ok?”

Connor – – “Ok.  Daddy have to go home?”

Daddy — “Yes, I will go home.”

Connor — “Ok.”

Sounds to me like Connor has plans for him and his little brother already…
