Lots going on here lately, but in the little boys' world...
I considered myself a parenting success after the following conversation....
Caleb (while reading a book): Mom, what's B-O-R-E-D mean?
Elijah: That's board - like what's on our walls.
Me: No, that's a different kind of bored; not wood; it means you don't have anything to do.
Caleb: When does that happen?
....And a failure after this one....
Me (during a history lesson on the Civil War): After day 3 of the Battle of Gettysburg, the South retreated back to Virginia and the Union claimed a decisive victory.
Elijah: YES! We are winning this war!
Me: No, WE did not win the war.
This little man lost his first top tooth. Two days later, he lost the second.
The little boys are training to be spies.....
And Elijah, with the latest critter we said NO to as a pet. The people bring some new exotic animal by almost weekly....
