As it turns out, kids have trouble with pronouns early on. You know, the difference between you and me and I and we. It's why they speak in the third person: "Mason juice?"
Sometimes, the English teacher in me tries to correct it. Other times, I'd much rather let it go... like this morning, when a grumpy Mason wanted to be held. He crawled up in my lap and I know he meant to say, "hold me?" but instead said, "hold you, please?"... and yeah, actually, that was exactly what I needed.

Heidi does this one a lot lately. It is so sweet hearing the little "Hold you, Mama?" I always try to climb onto her lap and she thinks it's sooo funny.
