Adam-isms

Three-year olds are a funny breed. At least, this one keeps me on my toes!

• At Julianna's birthday party, when it was time for her to blow out the candle, he thought Daddy was getting Julianna too close to the lit candle and SCREAMED for daddy not to get her so close. We appreciated that he was so concerned for her safety and well-being!


• Last week, I thought it might be a fun treat to go to our farm-supply store because they had just gotten in a bunch of chicks. So, we went up there so the kids could see them. Afterwards, I decided to see what they had for garden seeds and while I was looking, Adam suddenly realized that the chicks didn't have their mommy with them. Then he decided that their chirping was due to lonliness and that they needed him to come back so they wouldn't be sad. Before I knew it, he was sobbing the saddest tears out of concern for the chicks! The poor employee stocking the shelf next to us was so beside himself, I thought we were going to have a chick to take home with us! (Thankfully, we didn't!)


• This morning, he grabbed my hairbrush and began vigorously brushing his hair. He then informed me that he was trying to get his hair off so that he could be like Captain Picard from Star Trek (Adam's hero). Thankfully, he was no successful! But he did say that he wanted to be bald like him. Apparently he understood this...yikes!
