1. Cole started preschool this month (he's such a big boy now!) and it has been a transition for everyone - including the teachers. This first week is rough as they get to know the kids and Cole's teacher was telling me that she was so exhausted she felt like she got hit by a truck. Well, a few minutes later Cole and I were walking home and he looks up at me and says, "Mama, do you think she cried when the truck hit her?" Oh my gosh! I forgot how literal kids' minds are! It was so funny...how do you explain an "expression" to a 3-year-old? I tried...since I didn't want him thinking she was really hit by a truck - but am not sure how much he understood. Classic.
2. I went away for work this week. My boss and another colleague picked me up from my house so that I didn't have to leave my car parked at the office for a few days (especially since it has both car seats inside it) and so Cole, Kira and Delia came out on the front steps to say hi to Tom and Tara, and wave goodbye to me. So Cole says, "Mama, are you coming home later?" and I said, "No, I have to spend the night away from home tonight for work and I won't see you until Wednesday morning (this was Monday morning)." And then Tara said, "Your mommy is going to spend the night with us for work tonight!" So....the literal mind processed all this info...and that night I received a text from Dave that said "Out of nowhere, Cole just said "do you know what Tom has at work for mama? A bed." YIKES! That could be taken out of context in a bad, bad way! Hoping that wasn't mentioned to the preschool teachers!
3. Last, but not least: Cole loves to look at his poop in the toilet when he's done. (Is this typical boy behavior? I don't know, but it's pretty darn funny!) So the other day he yells, "Mama, mama - I just pooped. Come look at it!" So I go in there and he says, "Look at that one - doesn't it look like a Narwhal Tusk?" ?!?!?!!!! Yes, a narwhal tusk. A narwhal, for those of you who do not know, is a type of whale that we learned about in Cole's book, "A Whale of a Tale." (I'm telling you, everything I know about animals and sea creatures I learned from my childen's books!) So, as you may have guessed, the narwhal has a tusk on its head. Can a piece of poop look like a tusk? Absolutely! But it's HYSTERICAL that a 3-year-old thought of that! (A work, a stick, something of that nature, yes...but a narwhal tusk?!)
