Proud moments in parenting: part 2
1. We're running around the house. Ander can run fast, so Mathieu says "You're a good runner! It must be in your genes!" Ander stops dead in his tracks and points to his legs. It takes us a second to realize he heard us say "jeans".
2. I'm reading "Bear Snores On" to Ander. He doesn't pay attention to the main plot, which involves lots of animals having a party in this bear's cave. He points to the same thing on each page: a few kernels of popcorn on the cave floor. "MESS!" he exclaims.
3. We're sitting on our bed, looking through a big picture book with Ander. While Ander looks at the book, we're talking about the upcoming home inspection for our house. I say to Mathieu: "The inspector will be here at 9. Have you gone in the basement yet to make sure there's no water on the floor?" Ander perks up, jumps off the bed, runs down the hall, and starts descending the stairs. "BASEMENT!"
4. We're playing with cars on the floor of Ander's room. Ander stands up, walks over to the window and says "AIRPLANE". The sky was overcast, but... Sure enough, if I strain my ears, I can hear the gentle rumble of a jet engine.
