Skinned knees

Beckett has come home with a skinned up knee three different days this week.  The first two days, he told me that he fell on the way back to daycare from the park.  On Friday when I asked how he skinned his knee AGAIN, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just fall down every day now..." 

The Sky is Falling!

The boys take turns carrying the mail to the house.  Today Beckett was the "mail man".  I handed him the mail from the mailbox and he started off to the house.  After a few steps, some mail fell to the ground.  I said, 'Beckett, you just dropped some of the mail!"  He looked at the mail on the ground, looked at the mail still in his hands, looked back at the ground, and said, "I don't think that mail is from me.  I think it dropped from the sky..."

Making the bed

On Monday, the boys started their new chore charts. One of their chores is to make their beds. Ever since, Spencer has refused to sleep under his covers because he doesn't want his bed to be un-made. Ever.

Rhyming Clothes

I told Beckett to go get some clothes this morning.  I went upstairs to check on him a few minutes later, and found him still in his jammies with a pair of shorts on the floor.

Me:  Beckett, did you find some clothes?
Beckett:  I found these shorts, but I can't find any shirts that rhyme with them!
Me:  Did you say rhyme with them?
Beckett:  Yes!  I can't find any shirts that rhyme!
Me:  Do you mean you can't find any shirts that match?
Beckett:  Oh yeah... that's it.

Plants and Trees

Beckett:  Plants are trees!
Me:  Well, trees are plants, but not all plants are trees.  Like dandelions-- they are plants, but they are not trees.
Beckett:  Dandelions are not trees to people, but they are trees to ANTS!
