So, the trip made quite an impression and we are still talking about it almost daily. Today it was at breakfast and turned into a math lesson that I thought I'd share.
AJ said his mouth could fit a ton of orange juice because his cheeks are stretchy like a chipmunk’s. I asked him how many chipmunks it would take to fit 6 peanuts. “six!” he said. “You mean each chipmunk can only fit one peanut in its mouth?” I asked. He thought for a second and then said “Two chipmunks!” I was impressed!
He also told a lie this morning (which I know is a normal part of 4 year old development) that I thought was interesting enough to post.
AJ went to the bathroom and I heard the toilet flush but didn't hear the sink (not unusual). When AJ came out he announced proudly that he hadn't needed any help and wiped himself all by himself (which he's making great strides with lately, thank goodness!). I congratulated him and then asked if he'd remembered to wash his hands.
"Yes." he answered.
"Oh, I didn't hear the sink." I said.
His reply was almost immediate, "Well, that's because the door was closed."
LOL I thought that was pretty fast thinking for a 4 year old, but didn't believe I'd just missed the sink sounds so I asked if I could sniff his hands. He folded them up and held them against his body and shook his head.
"OK, go wash them then, and please just tell me the truth next time." I said, but I was still chuckling on the inside. ;-)
