So lately my four year old has been "pointing out the obvious" in situations. Like at dinner the other night, I was sitting at the table facing out toward the backyard patio and the sun was shining through the windows hitting my eyes at the most annoying angle (comparable to fingernails on a chalkboard). "Wow, that's really bright and right in my eyes"... I said out loud and mostly to myself. Jake looked at me with a blank stare and said, "So move." I looked up at my hubby to protest and found him silently chuckling to himself. "What!" I demanded. "He makes a good point"... he replied. So I forced myself to grin and bear it for the remainder of the meal. I wasn't about to be upstaged by someone who still picks their nose.

Then the next afternoon my booger boy and I were playing soccer in the backyard and I kicked the ball way off to the left. "Why did it go over there!" I exclaimed. Jake looked at me and said, "You kicked it over there. Next time kick it forward if you want it to go straight." Mentally I rolled my eyes. "Thank you" I mumbled... but he continued, "No problem Mom. Anything else or can we play now?" Sheesh.
