Father Knows Best

I recently got out my all-time, number one, favorite baby book for Nake.  It’s called Yummy Yucky by Leslie Patricelli and it’s suspenseful, relatable and one of the funniest books we own.  Really.  We flipped through the pages that originally endeared us, given its likeness to Baby Jacob… Blueberries: Yummy!  Blue crayons: Yucky.

Then we got out the newest addition to our Patricelli library, No no Yes yes.  Jake was instantly drawn-in to this modern classic.  “no No (screaming wildly and running away from Daddy), yes Yes (holding Daddy’s hand and walking at a leisurely pace).”

We turn the page and I say, “no No…”

Jacob fills-in, “Putting your finger up your nose.”  And then adds, nodding his head decidedly, “Only Daddy.  Only Daddy, can put his finger up your nose.”
