Reasoning with a 5 year old
This is the conversation with Jody, my 5 year old (preschooler), this morning:
Mom: Jody it's time to get up for school
Jody: I don't want to go to school. We are just learning about Kindergraden.
Mom: That's good. You will need to know it for next year.
Jody: I don't want to learn about Kindergarden, I want to learn more about Jesus!
Mom: Well, that's good and you will learn about Jesus too, here at home & church.
Jody: I want to learn about Jesus at school.
Mom: You know Jody, Jesus wants you to obey your parents. And you mom says it's time to get up.
Jody: I already know Jesus wants me to obey my parents, I want to learn something NEW about Jesus!
Can you tell we have our hands full already and she's not even in elementary school yet.
Until Later,
~Betty~

What a cute conversation.....
This is so cute. I love it when our kids prove to us that they are far more intelligent than we sometimes think they are. Good luck with that darling child!
Oiy-vay! You DO have your hands full. That's awesome!
