Conversations with Brooks

   This morning when Brooks and I were cleaning his room, I kept finding his crayons all over and I asked him if he wanted to lose them all. He didn’t even pause to think, he just said “Mom, I put them away, but at night while I am sleeping, they get loose.” Who knew?

   Then at breakfast he asked me what rhymed with wig. We came up with a few words like, dig and pig. I thought he wanted to play a rhyming game with me so I asked him what rhymed with cat. And he just said, “I don’t know that mom because I don’t speak Spanish.” Should I start teaching him Spanish first so he can learn to rhyme?
