Xander Figures out "You"

One of the cute things kids say is, "Carry You", when they are asking to be carried, instead of saying, "Carry me." With a first child, you might try to correct it, only to miss it when it's gone. So with the second child, I have relished it for as long as I can.

I asked Xander, "Do you want me to carry you or do you want to walk?" He said, "Carry you." and then I could hear him take his breath in and think. They he said, pointing to my chest, "I want YOU to carry ME."

In the next few days he made the connection again. Sometimes giggling if he said, "Carry you... I mean you carry me."

Ahh, it's all over! He's figured it out.
