What...I can't Hear Ya

It has been our routine lately for me to get Alex bathed, brushed and dressed for bed before Jay gets home for work (on the days he is working). Usually we are on our 5th or 6th story before Jay sneaks in bed with us and sort of just takes over the nightime rutuals. I say my goodnighty nights and I head out. I really cherish this time for Jay and Alex to have together because they don't really get a lot of one on one time. I don't rush to the tv or to the computer, no I rush to the baby monitor to listen in on the conversation that takes place between Dad and son-Alex becomes quite the chatterbox late at night. Last night was laugh out loud funny. I had been having problems with Alex listening to me and doing what I ask on the first request so I told Jay to have a word with him about listening to mummy, because whatever Jay says, Alex does, you would think that Jay beats him or something the way Alex listens, when the truth is Jay (or I)have never spanked and we rarely raise our voices (that may change in the future). Anyways Alex's response to Daddy asking him why he doesn't listen is..."Sometimes I have trouble hearing mummy"...bwaaaahahahah (me downstairs) So Jay asks if mummy should talk louder, and Alex says "no, I don't think that would help."
