Today at the mall Seth got so excited b/c he saw 'books-a-million' and he sounded out the word book. We got home and he was spelling 'Daddy.' I pulled out some of the reading flashcards that he hasn’t seen in 2 years and he sounded out about 12 other words. The rest were longer words. Anything that you had to make a combination on like tr, sh..and anything that had two vowels would throw him off but he is reading at 4 years old. Not even 2 weeks into being 4 years old!
Ok..just had to brag.

| Seth told Mel (the woman who helps out with cleaning around the house while Susan is pregnant), "I'm glad you're here to clean the house. Our house is really dirty. My Mom used to clean it but she doesn't anymore." lol |
Susan had just messed something up in the kitchen and she said, "Dag nabbit!" Seth looked at her and said, "That's not what you're supposed to say; you're supposed to say 'Dammit!'"
How bad of parents are we?! lol |
I forgot to write this on Valentine's Day so here it is. Scott was out of town that week and, when Seth woke up that morning, I gave him a Power Ranger and here was the conversation:
- Susan: Happy Valentine's Day, baby!
- Seth (with a quizzical look on his face): Who picked this out?
- Susan: Well, Daddy and I did.
- Seth: Where did you get it?
- Susan: Daddy and I went and bought it at Target.
- Seth: You left me all alone? Was I lonely?
- Susan: [lol] No, honey, you were at school when we went.
- Seth (an even sadder look): You went toy shopping without me?
- Susan: ...

| We're leaving gymnastics and it had been raining. Seth is wild - just wild - and, as we're walking to the car, I notice that we had parked next to a red car that had rain water all over it. I opened the car door for Seth and looked back to see that he is staring right at me as he leans over and lllllllllllllllicks the red car not once, not twice but three times - long, slurping licks too. I Said, "Seth, stop that! Why would you lick the car? That's disgusting!" at which point he just giggled that maniacal laugh that a mad scientist would giggle. |
| So Seth takes gymnastics with Coach Mike and, on Monday at class, Seth was just being belligerent. Coach Mike got down to eye level and said, "Seth, you're being too wild. You aren't paying attention and you're just all over the place. You need to calm down and listen to me." At this point, Seth's eyes got huge and a surprised look came across his face as he practically screamed, "Hey!!!! You have brown eyes just like me!!!!" |
Seth loves Star Wars characters now, particularly R2D2, and he has several of the small action figures. Here's a recent conversation:
- Susan: "You know, Seth, I had a little R2D2 just like yours when I was a little girl."
- Seth: "I bet it's all rusty now!"
- Susan: cocks her head and asks, "What makes you think that?"
- Seth: "Because it's so old"
You know, on one hand you're thinking, "Wow, what a smart three year old you are to be able to make that logical conclusion"
but on the other hand you're like, "Damn! I'm not *that* old!"
