Out of the mouths of children:
“Poops are the dads and pees are the mom and they go down the toilet to their new home.” (Exposition on bodily functions?)
“I need so many tentacles.” (playing with pipe insulation for the basement)
And yesterday, while I was at my class, Rowan wanted to read to Dad. So she put him into her bed and read a story on the stool next to him. After she was done, she turned out the light and closed the door. Leif said, “And after that, I was out!” So he napped while being vaguely aware of her reading more stories, playing with her dolls, etc. We’re lucky that she is the kind of kid who won’t set fire to the house. 😉
Maybe we can teach Damien that trick.
