Stories to Remember

The Present is always good for a laugh, or cry. Here are a few things that he has done lately that make me smile.

QB taught The Present that a red light means stop, and a green light means go. Aunt Smartie picked up the kids from daycare last week. In her car, his car seat is in the middle so he gets a great look out the front window. At each light, he would say "red light" or "green light" and he knows if you are supposed to stop or go!

That same day he was riding through the small downtown she lives by. It is a cute old historic downtown. As they were driving he said "Aunt Smarty, is this like in the movie Cars?" "Why yes," she said, "it is like in the movie cars."

About a month ago, The Present saw the South Dakota quarter with Mt. Rushmore on it. QB looked Mt. Rushmore up on the Internet with him and showed him all of the presidents on Mt. Rushmore. The Present really liked it. Last week when we were watching the RNC one of the speakers mentioned Teddy Roosevelt and the Present said, "Oh, he's on Mt. Rushmore Daddy!"

And that is AMAZING...from someone less than 3 years old...are you even slightly prepared for what life will be like down the road? Get ready, it will be an exciting adventure...
Was that enough of a mother message?

SMART! Love him so much. The other thing about downtown was that it had neon lights like the movie Cars. Really, he is so smart. Thanks for coming to see me today.
