Marshall “what color is gravity?”
Me “hmmm I don’t know. What do you think?”
Marshall “I think it’s pink”
Me “sounds good to me”
At lunch the 3 year old dawdling in full force.
Me (groan) “c’mon Marshall – please just eat your lunch!”
Marshall “mommy – c’mon- just cut it up!”
Me (snicker)
The other night as I was putting Marshall to bed he said “Mommy I have a secret to tell you.”
Anxious to hear this juicy tidbit I lent him my ear. He moved in close and whispered quiety “Who’s Yoda?”
If you’ve been around me over the last six or so months, you probably know that my life is pretty consumed by “PDX Kids Calendar” … a website I’ve been working on. It was designed by Daddy – we have tshirts – I work on it enough that Marshall recognizes a lot of things from it. He has even learned my phone number from me leaving messages for people on their voicemails … and I really don’t make that many phone calls!
Today he said to me that he had a train. When I asked him for more details he said it was the “PDX Kids Calendar train” … I sort of chuckled. So I asked him what it carried and where it was going? He said “It carries my schedule along. It also carries your calendar along.”
Sometimes I think I operate as if he won’t understand something – cuz he’s really only 3 – but the reality is that this kid is QUICK! He gets a lot more than I think. All the time!
