Preschool-isms: Two-legged Friends

Yesterday afternoon, I was preparing dinner and so I sent the children outside with popsicles. They are getting better about entertaining themselves for longer periods of time. But after five minutes or so, the popsicles had lost their appeal. So Jackson wandered to the screen door and called,

"Mommy! Come play with us!"

"I have to finish dinner!" I called back. "Play with Shane!" (our sweet pound puppy).

"No! I don't want to! I want to play with someone who has two legs!".

Luckily, Daddy came home soon after. He usually walks on two legs.

Preschool-isms

Yesterday, the children and I discussed proper manners regarding coughing and sneezing. I will consider it a small personal victory if either one of them ever covers their mouths while doing either. We also talked about a proper response when another person coughs or sneezes: "God bless you!".

Jessie babysat last night and ended up sleeping over. The two of us were sitting in the living room, eating breakfast and watching Jackson chase a tiny feather around the room. He was getting frustrated with the way the fan kept blowing the feather up to the ceiling. He was concentrating so hard that he sneezed when the feather blew by.

He said, "I blessed on it!".

It was a nice way to start a morning.
