A Conversation with Nicholas about Off

Alex is upstairs cleaning up some puzzles. Nicholas and I are just hanging out and talking. Here's how the conversation has gone so far:

Nicholas, pulling at his shirt- Off. Nicky off.
Me- Do you want your shirt off?
Nicholas- Ya. Off.
Me- We have to unsnap it first because it's a onesie.
Nicholas- Ok.
Me, unsnapping his onesie, then pulling his pants back up- Here you go. Now your shirt is off.
Nicholas, smiling- Off!
Nicholas, pulling at his pants- Off. Nicky off.
Me- Do you want your pants off, too?
Nicholas- Ya. Off. Off. Peas. (Please)
Me, smiling- Ok. Let's take your pants off then.
Nicholas, pointing- Shoes. Off.
Me- Oh, you are still wearing your shoes! Let's take those off first, then your pants.
Nicholas- Ok. Off!
We took off his shoes and pants.
Nicholas, patting his belly- Off! Nicky off!
Me- Yes, you took off your clothes! You are almost naked!
Nicholas, patting his diaper and questioning- Nicky off?
Me- No, sweetie. Your diaper gets to stay on.
Nicholas- Ok.

He crawled around for a bit with just his diaper and socks on. Then, you guessed it:

Nicholas, pulling at socks- Nicky, off.
Me- Ok, Nicky, you can take off your socks.
Nicholas- Yay!

He is a silly, silly boy. And I think he will be even happier when summer gets here and it's warm enough to run round almost naked all the time!

He also got a two and a half hour nap in today, and I think it helped him start to feel a LOT better. That's based on how much climbing and playing and silliness he's currently full of.
