Katie (9/9/09)Whatever Wednesday: Today is a very rainy day. My house is a complete mess, but I have no intentions of doing anything about that today. Instead, you will find me riding my son’s, who is two, motorcycle/tricycle. Last night, he and I discovered that if I sit on the seat he can ride behind me on the plastic basket and we can zoom around the house together! So all day long this morning I’m asked: “Mama sit!” as he points to his Lightning McQueen shiny red cool rider. The dog, of course, runs along with us looking at me and I just know he is saying, “You are way too big for that thing…get off! Not to mention, you look like a fool!”
Research says a child learns more in the first five years than any other time in his or her life. Interesting, huh? I also think it is empowering for parents to hear that….we are who they are with most of the time during those years…..thankfully! Okay, so today, maybe my son didn’t learn more about colors, or body parts specifically, but I do hope he learned a little something about silliness and how to have a good time! I sure did!
By the way..I’m here, Kayce!
