Visiting Old Granny

Granny has been in the hospital for the past week, and we have gone to visit her several times. To keep "Granny" and "Grammy" separate, I have just started calling them "Old granny" and Young Granny". Jonas has accepted this. anyway... Jonas is a big fan of the hospital. He was very excited about the magic bed, using their water fountains, the elevators, the automatic hand sanitizers, their "hamburders and foo fise!", and most of all, their babies.

He had a big time playing with Old Granny or whoever else happened to be at the hospital, but be would always end up asking to go see "la bebies". We would oblige, and of the 3 nights we went, we only saw babies on one night. This baby was not the one that stuck with Jonas. There was one night we went down there, and they had the blinds drawn, but there was a very unhappy baby in the back you could hear crying.
Joe: uh oh, oh no! the baby is sad!
Me: yes, he does sound sad, he probably wants his mommy.
Joe: yeeees... mommy, where is la (the) baby? I can' (can't.. yes, it is confusing.) see him.
M: he is hiding behind the blinds.
J: haha, the baby is hiding and he is sad. (nodding) he wants to see his mommy!
(at this juncture, the door opens, and the baby is trundled out down the hall to (presumably) his mommy)
J: ***huge gasp** mommy! It's la baby! He's coming out! He's not hiding anymore! (as the cart trundles away, joe's excitement turns to concern, as the baby is not getting closer) Where is la baby going? oh no! Mommy, follow him! Follow him!!
M: (shocked that Jonas knew the phrase "follow him" just stands for a minute. Then we started to follow, but we were too far behind to really follow.) I think we lost him buddy, i think he went to go see his mommy. see? we don't hear him crying anymore.
J: yeees. He not crying anymore. Baby is happy! Baby is with his mommy! He is happy!

This story was recounted for days to everyone that would listen. It went like this:
"see baby at hah-bi-doh (hospital). Baby is crying, baby is sad. Baby hiding behind blinds. oh no! baby is hiding behind la blinds! Baby want see mommy. baby see mommy. baby is happy! we follow him. uh-oh, oh no-- where is baby? hahahaha!"

It was pretty adorable. Jonas cried half the way home that night because he wanted to take a baby home. I told him that wasn't happening unless it was our baby. He replied that he wants to have a baby so he can take it home with him. Too cute!

Now every time we mention the hospital, he perks up and says "Joe want to go hah-bi-doh! Want see le babies, uh of babies is hiding. no want babies is hiding!" I believe this roughly translates to "I want to go to the hospital and see the babies, but I don't want them to be hiding behind the blinds this time."
