Jojo loves to eat paper, especially toilet paper. Lately, she's come up with two tricks. When she's on the potty, she asks Sheryl or me to go get her diaper. She is trying to get us out of the room so she can take a mouthful. Also, she calls it gum, as in the video below.

JoJo has been really fun lately.

On the one side, she loves to be helpful. She helps grandma at the food bank and in her basement. Tonight Sheryl is folding brochures for an upcoming camp, and JoJo wanted to help, so she helped put some of the brochures into the box. Then she got her own pad of paper and started tri-folding them, offering them to mommy and sis as "gifts."

It's also funny hearing her reports about Jeanie's house. "Jancie is a bad boy." "Hudson gave Jeanie a broon today." What's a broon, Jojo? She patiently repeats herself until I figure out it's a balloon. Was it Jeanie's birthday? "Yes." I can't be for sure because every day is a birthday with her!

At the same time, she's figured out the mommy-daddy game. If mommy tells her to do or stop doing something, she runs to daddy. If daddy tells her, she runs to mommy. She's not getting away with it much, which is good.

She loves her Monday nights and Tuesday days with Grandma, and mommy and daddy love their one night a week of uninterrupted sleep. Needless to say, I still did wake up at 3:30, probably out of habit.

The first videos from my new Vado camera. As I learn to edit video, I'll put up more.
