I Can Understand the Reasoning

Reesi has been using some big words lately. Sometimes she knows what they mean and sometimes she doesn't.

When I asked what was in her arms she said, "A sweater, you fool." This required some major timeout, but she still isn't quite sure what it means.

The other day in the car she told Larry to be quite because she was trying to concentrate. She knew what this one meant: trying to think of something.

Andy has a baby now and Reesi was telling us that baby Sarah was drinking from Andy's odor. We tried to correct her, but that never goes well. She then went on to tell us that cow's drink mild from their mom's gutter.

Lately, when she has been getting in trouble, like when she was supposed to be sleeping and instead got her scissors and cut holes in her sheets and pillow cases, she says, "But Mom I was just curious." Apparently, she wanted to know what what under the sheets. When asked to explain what curious meant she said "You wonder what inside. Like if I was curious about what's inside a tree it would be paper." Well, at least she knows paper comes from a tree, but I think I need to explain that one better.
