All,
I'd love to hear any memories of things your children said.
Jack (age 6) said one yesterday that I loved...
We were at the dinner table talking about our 2012 new years resolutions and we went around the table with everyone saying what they had in mind.
When it was my wife's turn, she said her 2012 resolution was to "let the little things go".
Jack looked confused and asked if this meant she was going to get rid of the family dog.
Another one of my favorite Jack stories....
We celebrate Christmas and have a nativity set. When he was two years old, I heard my wife say "Jack No.... Jack No!" followed by a crash. The poor cow was dropped on the floor and shattered. We then had a lengthy discussion on how not to treat the nativity set. A few days later, I walked past the nativity set and noticed that a small toy cow had been added to the collection. I laughed at Jack's creativity --- and then began to notice that on a daily basis, the animals and people would move slightly as he rearranged the scene. About a week later, a tyrannosaurus rex was added to our nativity scene. Every year since, we put a t-rex in there, we even store the t-rex with the set when we put it away. I love that kid.
Would love to hear any stories! Happy New Year!
All the best,
Greg
