Have you ever known your kiddo was a smart one and then got pleasantly surprised at what they know and then felt like a crap mom for not knowing? Well it happened today. Our boys adore reading all types of spider books with their Papa, we never really thought that much into it. The boys were in the backyard playing and found a little spider and caught it. E was carrying it all around calling it his "new friend", I was telling him to put him back. A came up and told me "Oh momma, it's just a wolf spider he won't hurt ya." My brother in law was over and thought no way is he right, so he "googled it".....My three year old was right. I was just over here like "holy crap when did you learn that?" I spend all day everyday with them and I had no idea that they knew species of spiders! I feel proud but also like I dropped the ball with that.
On another note, today E came up and got about two inches away from my face, He proceeded to look very closely at my face. After a while he asked "Momma are you OLD?" I was shocked and replied, " Uhh, no baby I'm 20." his response, "your eyes look old......" "Thanks bud." After he realized maybe mom isn't old, He shouts from the bathroom "Mom am I OLD?!" This has basically summed up my day with the hooligan boys. Little miss today has been babbling about Dada and trying out a sippy cup. She loves it by the way.
