My Brain is Growing

Christian has so many funny words he uses in place of the words we usually say in phrases.  Like the other day, for example, he was sitting on the pot for awhile.  When he got up, he started whining and fussing around. . .saying, "my toe is tired!"   I was actually irritated cause the boy, though I love him, has very little pain tolerance. I was frustrated that he now was crying over a TIRED TOE. . .then it hit me.  His foot must have fallen asleep and he got his words mixed up so instead of saying his foot was asleep, which would actually hurt, he said his toe was tired.  Close enough. :)  I felt bad for being frustrated!  :)

So the other day, while he was sick, he told me that his brain wasn't working right. Then he asked if I could tell his brain to go away so he could get a new on that works this time.  I am sure he was feeling congested like all people do when they are sick with colds and probably felt his brain was groggy.  He cracks me up. 


Finally, to my main story.  Last night, as we were coming in from errands, he says to me.  "Mom, feel my brain!"  I said, "Christian, sweaty, I can't feel your brain because it is in your head."  Then he said, "well my brain is growing and growing. . .It is growing because I am thoughting and thoughting and thoughting with lots of thoughts. . .. ugh."  He is so funny. His teacher says he said this to her the other day after she had finished working with him in reading workshop. :)
