baby balloons

Today we were up in Justin's room and in his bin of toy cars he found a small green balloon, one that I no doubt blew up some time ago.  He typically likes his balloons blown up very small, because he is afraid they will  pop otherwise.  This one was green.  Justin decided that it was dirty and he gave it a bath in the sink and then after he wrapped it up in the towel and held it.  It was really cute.  Then out of the blue he told me he needed to do laundry.  I told him there were a load of clean towels in the dryer so have at it.  He did.  He also insited that I call him "daddy".  At one point he rocked his "baby" and at another point he put it down for a nap.  This only lasted like a total of 20 minutes but it was really enduring.
