TWO YEAR OLDS ARE FUNNY LITTLE PEOPLE ! In case you didn't know. Once kids get going to school full time they become jaded and learn to watch what they say. (Or at least they are supposed to.) Two year olds just let it fly . . . And they think in such interesting ways.
We picked Smith up at his day care center in Fort Lauderdale on Friday morning just before his lunch and nap time. Our plan was to get him, go to lunch at Mac Donalds to fill his tummy and then he would sleep in the car on the hour ride back to our house. HA HA HA HA ! To think we could plan anything is a joke! We got to "school" just in time for Smith and his class to be coming in from the play ground. All 7 or 8 kids were walking along holding on to the rope but there was no Smith. Then we saw him at the back of the line riding in the big red wagon with all the play ground toys surrounding him. He looked like the emperor following his loyal subjects. Was he riding because he WOULDN'T walk? Was he riding so the teacher could keep a better eye on him? Or was he riding because he is getting a special treat for being such a good boy? WE will never know!
When Smith saw us his eyes lit up and he gave his grand pa squeal and tried to climb out of the wagon. Being under a ton of stuff gave him some trouble so grandpa went and got him out. WE gathered his things, signed him out and off we went to start our adventures. SMITH TALKED THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE WITH HIM FOR THE TWO DAYS! He sure has a lot to say for a little guy. He started by telling us "GRANDMA'S HOUSE". We agreed that we were indeed heading for grandma's but we would stop at "Donalds" first for some lunch. We were promptly told, "NO! NO DONALDS! GRANDMA'S HOUSE!" As we explained that WE were hungry it made no difference to Smith. When we parked in "Donald's" parking lot Smith refused to budge from his car seat, all the while firmly insisting no donalds. grandma house! We settled on grandpa getting some food for us, grandma sitting in the back seat with Smith and sharing my lunch while grandpa drove. Son of a gun little guy did NOT eat ! He just wanted to go to grandma's house.
Once we arrived at grandma's Smith settled in to playing with EVERYTHING, eating EVERYTHING and talking about EVERYTHING. He kept telling us about his NEW HOUSE! This kid has some memory!
We spent an awesome weekend together. Swam in our pool all afternoon, ate all his dinner and slept from 7:30 PM to 7 AM. WE made pancakes together for breakfast, rode over to the wildlife preserve near by and spent the entire time talking and looking at ALL the animals.
