Mini Thinks

Me: Time for sleep. Quiet your mind. Quiet your mouth. Quiet your body.
Son: and my brains?

3 year old son: I told you that.
Mom: no you didn’t.

Mom: probably.

3 year-old: just sometimes?

What kind of kid laughs, and then asks for more when getting eyedrops?
No idea… but ours does.

“One day I will grow really tall to reach the box with apple sauce in it”
My 2 year old has priorities and goals.
