Conversations with 3 year olds



Sometimes I forget how much Gavin knows.  He started talking early and his first sentence at 15 months was "don't do dat!" Just as clear as can be.

So today I was trying to get Gavin to eat his spaghetti. He wants a ding dong for his dessert and knows there's two left.  I told him he needed to eat fast or someone would eat them.  He thought for a second and asked if Jakob and Andy were going to eat them.  I told him maybe a monkey would eat them.

He thought again for a second and started eating pretty fast.  

G:  Mommy, there are no monkeys in the house.

M: They could come through the front door. 

G: Monkeys only eat bananas.  

M: Well what if they want a Ding Dong?

G: They only like bananas!!
 
M: Well then maybe a cow.

G:  Cows only eat leaves.  No giraffes do.

M: How do you know giraffes eat leaves? 

G: I don't know.  Cows  say MOOOOO. Mommy say Moo(he wanted me to put food in his mouth).

A few minutes later he decided he better hurry and eat so that the monkeys won't come.   Guess it WAS the monkeys!!

You're nicer than me, I just tell them that I will eat their treat if they don't hurry. =o)
