Age 4 is my favorite age, since I love what the kids say at this age. It is so funny. They are just putting life all together. Here are some recent conversations with Jordan who is now 4.
Jordan: Mommy am I prettier than you
Mommy: (I am worried she is going to say this to other people so I am looking as this is an opportunity to coach her on this:-)) I say Yes, you are but you shouldn't say this to people since that may hurt their feelings when you say you are something they are not. Also, what is more important is how pretty you are on the inside. Jordan are you pretty on the inside?
Jordan: Yes, mommy I am pretty on the inside, since I am all pink!
Mommy: (holding back the laughter). Yes, jordan your are all pink inside and it is pretty. But, what that really means is how nice you are to people.
Conversation 2
Mommy: What did you get that sticker for at school today?
Jordan: for playing the quiet game good
Mommy: that is great!
Jordan: Yeah, I talked but the teachers didn't see me so they gave me a sticker.
conversation 3:
Jordan: I want to be a baby again so I can be cute
Mommy: But, mommy loves you the way you are at 4. You are very cute.
Jordan: But, I want to go back to being a baby.
Ryan (the voice of reason says literally): Jordan, you can't back to being a baby.
