Don't laugh at me!

The things you say! We were watching Spongebob last night; it was the episode where he keeps ripping his pants. You looked at me & said very seriously, "It's OK because they're laughing WITH him, not AT him. Even though he's not laughing."

For the past couple weeks, you have been EXTRAORDINARILY sensitive to any laughing around you. If you do something adorable or say something hysterical and I laugh, you start to cry & say that we shouldn't laugh at you. We've tried explaining repeatedly that we aren't laughing at you, but it's just a sign of our happiness & joy when we are around you & you do something adorable. You aren't really buying into it, though, so we have to be on our guard.

Don't read to me, Jamie!!!

You & I were reading a story on the couch. Jamie came up & decided that he would read a different story to you, one that he was more excited about. As soon as he started to read, you slapped your hands over your ears, got really upset & yelled:

"Mama! Jamie's trying to read to me! It's making my ears CRY!"
