Early Morning Chats with a 2-Year-Old.
My boy and I are up early-ish this morning, and the conversation has gone like this: (Imagine a two-year-old inflection)
Luke: Want see Mama
Me: Well, we’re trying to let Mama sleep, so you need to just play with daddy. Want to come look out the window?
Luke: Ooh, Mr. Brown’s car!
Me: Ooh, it rained all night.
Luke: Yeah, rain rain. It’s wind?
Me: Yep, the wind is blowing. We need to talk about some breakfast.
Luke: Maybe some blue macaroni?
Me: That’s not breakfast.
Luke: Oh, just crackers.
Me: That’s not really breakfast either. How ’bout toast or cereal or oatmeal?
Luke: Maybe… play motorcycle?
Me: Wow. You have the opposite of a one-track mind, don’t you!
and so on. It’s a fun morning!
Blue macaroni?
Do you have blue ketchup there now?
It’s wind and rain, rain here today too. We’re off to Pbo as soon as your little brother gets here. Have a great day!
