Mattie has had so many good ones lately, but here are two from today:
Mattie: I'm so lucky! You want to know why?
Cassie (our babysitter): Yes, why?
Mattie: Because one time, my dad opened the door on the top of the potty, and I got to see where the water goes inside!
It's just amazing the things that wow them. And the things that don't.
Earlier today I had the following conversation with him:
(Upon examining the baby crib where he and Theo slept as infants, and which we have always referred to as the "nest"...)
Mattie: You just have this out just in case, right?
Mama: In case of what?
Mattie: Because you're probably going to lay another egg in there soon, right?
Mama: Do you think so?
Mattie: Yeah, because you're pretty big, and I think another egg is going to need to come out soon.
And with that, he ran off, before I even had time to explain that I don't lay eggs!
