Things Kids Say

I just love how transparent three year olds are! They just completely don’t realize how much they completely give away their secret, mischievous plans.This story comes from just a few weeks before Daniel was allowed to stop taking naps (because he couldn’t get to sleep at night).

Landon’s iPod touch usually lives on his bedroom clock where it can charge and play music, but this had to change when we discovered Daniel playing with it under the covers of his bed. He was supposed to be napping, but decided games on the iPod sounded like a better idea.

The next day I took him to his bed for a nap,  and we went through our usual routine: read a book, get a drink, and say “I love you”. When I finally tucked him under his blankets, he sat up with a start. “Hey, where’s Landon’s iPod?” he asked.

“Oh, he put it in a hiding spot,” I replied casually.

“Where?” He glanced about the room anxiously.

“Somewhere,” I said.

“Oh.”

Crestfallen, he allowed me to re-tuck him into bed and kiss him on the cheek. He pulled the blankets up to his chin and turned over sighing, “I do wish Landon’s iPod was here.”

“But Pumpkin,” he protested. “If you don’t come, you will take my sunshine away!”

Daniel has been being a true two year old for the past few weekss. From trying to pour his own milk (thank goodness the jug was almost empty!) to drawing in school books, he has found  one hundred and one ways to get into things. Here is one of his latest tricks:
