For the last 3 months our three-year-old has been voicing concerns about things she thinks about before she falls asleep at night. We didn't really take her seriously until she finally said,

"I need you to know something. Always when I go to sleep I see pictures that are so real in my eyes, and it is like I am living in these scary pictures about witches, ghost-es, monsters,..."

She was so concerned. We told her to try to think about pictures of Disneyland in her eyes.

DS aged 3 was listing his 'jobs'
"I am a lumberjack, a pediatrician, an EMT, a surgeon, a firefighter, a farmer, and an electrician"
I said, "you sound very busy!"
My little guy put his hand on my knee and said earnestly, "But it's okay Mama, I'm very skilled!"

LOL

all of these made me laugh out loud and grin with excitement.

How AWESOME that we have this place to share in!!

When DD was 3 she wanted to grow up to be three things: a ballerina, a butterfly, and a mermaid.

I guess the boy hasn't heard much about magnets yet. He's got a little business card magnet that came in the mail. I told him, just try to stick it to stuff and whatever it sticks to is magnetic. If it doesn't stick it's not magnetic. It's been a week or so. This morning he said, "if we use tape instead of magnets then everything will be magnetic."

DS(4) when out with DH and offered an iceblock...
"thank you so much. Mummy would probably say no because it's full of sugar but the sugar level in my pancreas is nearly on empty so that is great timing"

Also with DH
DH "what possessed you to throw the book?"
DS "I possessed myself to do it"
