The other day I had a virulent strain of the hiccups. I groaned about it and Hayden asked, “What?”
“I just want these hiccups to be done.”
“Well,” he counseled, “they will just go away by themselves, when they’re done.”
Wise indeed.
Rebecca, meanwhile, discovered oven mitts.
Hayden has taken up “speaking” for his stuffed monkey, Marty. But since Marty’s mouth is sewn shut, Hayden keeps his lips closed and kind of hums.
We’re not sure, but this might be where Rebecca picked up the habit of squealing with her mouth closed every time she sees her favorite stuffed animal/lovey, Pinky.
Logical creatures, children.
What unexpected leaps (logical or otherwise) have you seen from your children?

If we coo and say “aaawww, sleeeeepy Gwen” she will lay her head down with a smile, even if she was in the middle of playing with her toys. Funny. We never say that when putting her to bed. I don’t know how she knows.
I wonder where Hayden got the concept for speaking for someone/thing that can’t speak for itself…
@Elisa—That’s adorable!
@Brooke—The fertile imagination of the human mind. I’m sure you never did it as a child. 😛
How about when you were taking your kindergarten evaluation and they asked you what went, “Neigh.” You said, “A horse.” but then coudn’t help adding, “Of course.”
And you had only seen Mr. Ed once in your life!
LOL, Mom. But are you sure I’d only seen Mr. Ed once? I have such fond memories of that show.
