Minimalist philosophy: Mom: See that store over there, REI; it's Dad's favorite store.
Son: Oh, I've been in there; when we went camping the first time. Mom: Oh yah. I think you're right. Son: I was four years old, right? Mom: I think so. Son: I have a good remembery, huh? Mom chuckles: Yes you do. Another great word! Remembery. Meet our new family members!
This is Dashie, our Chihuahua-Yorkie mix and Hairy, our Yorkie. Hello girls! Our son loves it when Dad says, "Hello girls!" as they run up to greet him. I love it when our son, who is developing his 'r's and 'l's, mimics his dad, "Hello girlos!" He had a hard time this morning deciding to go school. He was determined to stay home. Under intense pressure from me, he finally decided to go to school.
He is happy everyday when I pick him up after school. It is getting there that is difficult. So today we had a few discussions about cooperation and responsibility. Tonight in his prayer he said,"please bless us to contalkerate.." He looked at me, "what is the word, mom?" Cooperate, I offered. He continued, "Please bless us to cooperate tomorrow." Contalkerate! That's a great word! |
