Patrick's a Boy

James has some trouble with his pronouns and keeps saying, “I wan hold her,” when referring to Patrick. Then we say, “Him. You want to hold him.” Then James says, “It’s not him.” We say, “Yes, him. Patrick is a boy.” James: “It’s not a boy!” Us: “Is Patrick a girl?” James: “No, it’s not a girl. It’s baby Patrick.” We’ve been round and round with him on this one several times this week. Then today I said, “Patrick is a boy. He has a pee pee like yours. That’s why he’s a boy.” The light bulb went off and James said, “Ooohhh. Patrick’s a boy wike me.”
