when i was pregnant some people at work joked that i would have the jerry mcguire kid. i admit that he is prone to saying some geeky things. for instance, he has started telling me what shape EVERYTHING is. well, we told him that a square has four equal sides, and as far as a rectangle goes - well, i told him it has four sides and two are smaller than the other two; carl told him that it has four equal angles, a triangle has three sides and all on his own he came up with the idea that a circle has one side which is pretty good considering there is a lot of debate about defining that one. but anyway, while he does occasionally come out with this stuff he still is three and has the speech impediments to go with it. so the other day he asks me "what is a eagle" (i know can you believe he didn't say "an" eagle -sheesh) so i tell him a little about the bird. it isn't until a few minutes later when i hear him say "a square has four eagle sides" that i realize the mistake that i have made.
tomorrow we take him on his first train ride. and i'm going to bed early. not because of that - just saying.
i had a whole mental diatribe about health care but not today.
Does anyone have an aspirin? Or sixty?
