Good Job, Mommy

The boys love to read. It's not unusual to see Shawn reading his magazines while Jason focuses on Jack's board books (he's trying to teach himself to read--and doing quite well, I might add). That also means they want to "read" and ask questions about everything they see. 4 is a pretty neat age!

Anyway, several months back, the boys noticed a sign like this:

Ever since they learned that a circle with a red line means "No" about something, they want to find out what every warning is and then ask a million questions about those warnings. Seriously, it happens all. the. time!

Tonight, Jason noticed that there is a warning label with two pictures on Jack's tub. One picture is a triangle with a red line through it, while the other picture had a green square around it. He asked a lot of questions before he was satisfied that the main purpose of the warning label was to remind mommies to stay with their babies while they were in the water. He then went on his way and left me to finish bathing Jack.

Several minutes later he came back to the bathroom. Out of the blue he said, "Mommy, I am very proud of you. You are doing a good job."

I had no idea where he was going with this conversation, so I went with the obvious reply. "Why is that, Jason?"

"Because you didn't leave your baby behind in the water. Good job!"

With that, he went to the living room so he could enjoy Pocoyo. :-)
