I'm getting worried...



I am really starting to worry about my ability to out think my children. I will give you a couple short stories of why i am getting worried.

1. Isabelle was eating lunch with Koren and she wanted to be done and have desert. She only had three pieces of chicken nuggets left on her plate so Koren told her that as soon as there were no more chicken nuggets on her plate they could have desert. So Isabelle picked up the three remaining pieces and put them in her lap, gave Koren a "i am smarter then you" look, pointed at her empty plate and said "desert now please".

2. Isabelle has a new awesome book with the Disney princesses and each page is a two sided puzzle of the princess. So loves to do puzzles and so that is one of her favorite books right now. She does have a hard time keeping track of all the pieces. We have not lost any so far and for have about 100 uses out of it already i am really proud of her for keeping track. Yesterday morning though we were missing a couple pieces and so Koren asked Isabelle where they were. (we ask her because 99.9% of the time if we ask her where something is she knows. It doesn't matter if it was a week since she had seen it she remembers.) She looked around for a second and then told Koren that the neighbors dog ate them. Now the dog ate the homework if very common in older kids but i would almost guarantee that Isabelle has never heard that before. That was all her idea.

Her favorite things to play with are puzzles and books and i know that is not making her any dumber. I love that she loves books. Now that i am writing this... She loves books, has dark skin, almost too smart for her own good. I think she is DAMON!!! if he had died i would believe in reincarnation. As long as she is Damon and not Bret!!

Yep, you really have to be careful with your what you say, kids are so literal. And who knows, maybe the dog really did eat the puzzle peices, stranger things have happened at our house.
