Canon's Turn

Okay, so Canon's brilliance is emerging as well.

One of the funniest is that when we give him something, and in effort to make him understand that we want him to say 'thank you' in response, we say 'thank you' to him. Instead of him repeating 'thank you', my brilliant chid says, "welcome."

He can say 'thank you'. We hear it when he decides to use it on his own, so he knows when to use it. He just is smart enough to know that "welcome" follows a "thankyou".

Oh, and when he plays in the toilet, he is nice enough to pull the towels off the rack and dry his hands off.

Sweet boys.

Oh, speaking of sweet. He pushed the kitchen table chair over to the counter today, used the spoon I used to stir my coffee to EAT the Splenda by the spoonful.

Oh, and yesterday I found him in the bathroom, standing on the toilet seat, which he had closed, to get my night cream. He had used most of the entire jar of it on his face and head. He was soft to start with, but he is Mary Kay soft now.

These things he does while his brother is plotting world dominance one question at a time.
