Jane, It is amazing how much children pick up from parents. For instance, I am big on being on time, and schedules, and my son is always reminding me, as if I need any reminding, "we can't be late."
Yesterday, he spilled a coke on his socks and he does not like to get wet. He said, "I am sorry. I am a klutz." We had to make it to that game, regardless. I just got him a new pair, in time to make it there, on time.
This is the kid that switch hits and plays with precision. I am reading instructions for his CD Rom right now that is a game for 8+. He is almost 5. I just want him to have fun, and not get uptight.
I said, "you are not klutz."
He has learned to call his Grandfather on the Cell phone, and he said, "remember once when you said you were not available?"
The message said that. He took it literally! :)Leigh |
