Conversations With 4 Year Olds

As I've mentioned before, Mr. Jason is obsessed with signs. Today, while I was attempting to inflate a kiddie pool for the boys, he saw this one.



He asked me several questions about it. I told him it warns parents not leave babies and to keep their eyes on them when they are in the water so the babies stay safe. After I explained to him what it meant, he dropped the subject.

Later, he was sitting on the big potty, something he isn't a fan of as he prefers to keep his feet on the ground and use the kid potty. I was in the doorway, about ready to leave him in the bathroom so I could go check on the other two munchkins in the living room when he said, "Stop, mom. You need to read the sign!"

I looked around, but didn't see anything. "What sign, Jason?"

He started drawing in the air. "This one. It says you need to be a good mom and not leave me alone and keep your eyes on your baby!"

I had to laugh. He also got his wish. :-)

I gave the boys chips for lunch this afternoon. (Don't judge.) I had already seated Jason and was finishing up Shawn's lunch as he came into the kitchen.

"Shawn," I said, "which kind of chip do you want? The bumpy kind (Ruffles) or Pringles?"

"Umm...I don't want that kind of chip." he said with a slow smile. "I want chocolate chips instead!"

Yep, this kid is definitely mine!
