One of my favorite concepts that AJ has caught onto lately is the idea of distinguishing people from different things, like dogs and cats. The other day we had this conversation:
Me: "You can't have two of those, buddy. It's one per person." (Silence while he thinks this over.)
AJ: "I'm a person?"
Me" "Yes. Who else is a person?"
AJ: "Mama is a person."
Me: "Yep. Anyone else?"
AJ: "Dada is a person."
Me: "Yep. What about Honey Sue?" (our cat)
AJ: (pause as he thinks) "Yes? Honey Sue is a person?"
Me: "No, Honey Sue is a cat!"
AJ: (Laughing) "She's not a person! She's a cat!"
Since then we have had several conversations a day about who is a person and who is not. His favorite is to say Uncle Will is a person! But his dog Wrigley is not!

you left out the best part--when he laid in bed that night and wondrously said to himself, "i'm a person!" =)
