Critical Thinking

The boys and I are on the way to Carter's gymnastics "open gym", when Carter sparks up a conversation:

C: "Hey, Mommy's a lady and Daddy's a guuuuuuuuuy (guy said in a very dramatic, Tim Allen-kind-of-way).
M: "You're right, son!"
C: "Everett's a baby, Carter's a kid!"
M: "Yes, you're right!"
C: "Daddy wears tennis shoes, Mommy wears flip flops"
M: "Again, you're right!"

This conversation continued until we pulled into the parking lot. By the end he was comparing Opa's dog (Sage) and Grammy's dog (Zoe). In my mind I was thinking at how well of a tool this will be for when he takes the SAT's...

Since Sunday Carter has also been expressing his love/ affection by saying "Happy Father's Day". All day Sunday it was "Happy Father's Day, Daddy"... Now it's either"Happy Father's Day, Mommy", "Happy Father's Day, Gigi", etc. We're going to have to work on that one.

Everett Takes a Dip

Everett went swimming for the first time on Saturday. We went over to Steve and Janina's association pool. Good times for the family. Carter was exhausted from all of his "under water" swimming (he put his face in several times, he definitely thought he was hot stuff). On the way home from Steve and Janina's, here is the conversation:

C: "Mommy, night night time at home?"
M: "well, Son, after a shower it will be time to go to bed".
C: "Night Night"

Minutes later, Jason reported this conversation:
D: "Okay, Son, let's get ready for a shower"
C: "No shower, Daddy, lay down, sleep, please"
D: "You would like to go to bed and skip the shower?"
C: "Yes, Please. No shower, night night"

How much does a pool cost to put in these days? :-)
