Three-Year-Old in Training

Only a few months away from three years old, John's personality is blossoming. He is asking endless "what" questions, but not "why" questions, although I know those are coming. John is now sharing information back with us, on his way to being a typical little know-it-all three-year-old. He chatters all day long, so what I might hear from the backseat while I'm driving is something like this:

". . . . That is a race car. Daddy drove a race car. Race cars go fast, like vroom! Fire engines are fast. Fire engines are loud. They go woo-ah woo-ah! You have to cover your ears. And you cry a little. But then your mama says it's okay. And then it's okay. Space shuttles are loud too. Space shuttles lift off. Then there is fire. Fire is hot! You could get an ouchie. You should never touch the stove. You would need a Band-Aid. . . ."

And that is an example of what I hear most of the day, from about 6:30 a.m. till about 8:30 p.m., with a break for an afternoon nap and a couple of short television shows. It's tiring, but I love it too!
