more Juma-isms

Juma has been entertaining me with some of his toddler talk. Here are some things he said lately.

While getting out of the car, with lots of sandbox toys to carry: "Mama, can you carry my shovel? I don't have four hands!"

While trying to persuade me to come to the swings with him at the park: "Mama, you can come, or I can take you come!" (From my "give him choices" parenting technique, You can come [go to the bathroom], or I can take you [to the bathroom].)

While looking at construction vehicles working: "Mama, look! That one has hydraulics!" (He pronounced hydraulics perfectly, too. And considering I'm not even sure what hydraulics are, I was impressed.)

And finally, "Baba, what color are my jambas?" (If you don't know what jamba means, you'll have to ask. But you might be sorry you did. And you'll never want to drink a Jamba Juice again.) Juma decided his jambas are orange.
