Learning to share and using full sentences
At bible study last week, running to Daddy from the other room where he’d been playing nicely with Harvey and Zion –
Nathan: Daddy, Daddy, Daddyyyy! ZION has a toy but I wan to PLAY with it!
Pretty impressive in my book - both the sentence and the fact that he didn't just grab the toy. Don't worry, he's not always this impressive.
The same evening we also learned that the three boys have an ongoing argument over whether Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (or maybe it’s Bah Bah Black Sheep? or Humpty Dumpty?) is a SONG or a BOOK. The Archibald boys say song; Nathan says book. Dan tries to explain it’s a song AND a book. Harvey says he knows but it’s still funny to argue. The little boys seem to enjoy the rhythm of the argument too (no, SONG! no BOOK! no SONG! no BOOK!) and stand there smiling at each other as they debate, and everyone ends up laughing, so I guess it’s okay. Although I’m not sure how the adults in the house feel about it.
