Worthwhile to share? Maybe not, but oh well...

Here are my 3 moments from today with Brevin that took the cake:


1. Looking at our bookshelf on the desk, Brevin asked if I had read ALL of those books. I said, that yes mommy and daddy had. He asked what they were about so I went down the line and told him little snippets from The Art of War, Lies My Teacher Told Me and then we hit the bit Webster Dictionary. When I explained how we use a dictionary, I asked him if he wanted to look up a word and which word he would choose. He thought about it for about 4 seconds and then said that he wanted me to look up the word stupid because it is a bad word we aren't supposed to say. So I proceeded to read the definition of stupid, I mean come on, isn't this the way we raise geniuses?

Just for fun go look up the words we discovered today in the dictionary: stupid, galleon and love. Guaranteed to learn something AND be quite surprised with some of the definitions.

2. On our walk through the thick woods this afternoon, I had a very over protective mom moment about one of the weirdest things. As Brevin had a good 10-20 feet on me running along, I kept picturing a HUGE BUCK deer that would come barreling out of the forest and taking him out. I tried to shoo it away multiple times, but each time it came back which resulted in me having a hard time breathing and requesting him to come closer to Rowan and me. Really? Who fears this? Besides Matt Lauer of course...

3. Not 10 minutes after my freaky deer moment, we were walking along our street and looked down the hill to the path. The sun was setting and I had my prescription sunglasses on. I saw an animal sitting on the path, but could not for the life of me make it out. Brevin kept asking me what it was so I told him to go down and see. Let's just say that cat, muskrat or raccoon were the animals that ran through my mind. I SENT MY SON TO THE ANIMALS, he was reluctant once he grew closer(still a good 20 feet away), but I urged him to be brave. But at the last minute I freaked out and called him back to me. We waited for two walkers to come around and tell us what it was. They nicely informed us that was the neighbor cat in desperate need of a diet, but assured me they weren't surprised I thought it was a raccoon. Did you see the word nice at the beginning of the previous sentence?

Pretty sure nobody else in the world experienced these 3 things today which is why I find it worthwhile to share. :)
