Always a discovery

So, my son and I were sitting on the couch together. He wanted some snuggle time with mom. I love snuggle time! He also wanted to watch Spongebob. "No" was my response. Instead I put on the news so I could hear about the weather for the week. He was okay with this. Actually, he was interested and was asking me questions about the map. (cool) When the weather was done, I decided to scroll through the channels to see what else there is to watch. I get to the Food Network and my son says "stop here". I stop. They are making a salad with apples, walnuts and cheese. Next they make a lamb chop with a cranberry-chutney sauce. I ask my son if he wants me to find something else. "No" he says, "I like learning about cooking food." This surprised me.

Earlier today, my husband was assembling our daughter's new bed. He suggested that he stop midway and only put together the bottom part of the bunk. He was kidding - in a way - but was mostly just teasing our daughter. Well, that did not sit well with her, she said to her dad, "But that would be a waste of money. Hey, I know what you mean by wasting money!" Yes, we've taught her something and she understands in a new context!

I love learning something new about my kids!
