Three going on thirty

It's amazing how when kids reach the age of three, all of a sudden they know a lot more than we do and they are suddenly qualified to debate everything.

James is no different! He has reached three, become a lot calmer than when he was younger but has turned into a king debater. In one afternoon we can debate anything from why he shouldn't have chocolate for supper to how much longer he can watch his Tom & Jerry dvd before having to go to bed.

This is also an age where unfortunately the afternoon nap becomes a HUGE debate. Today was no different of course, because in the car on the way to spend the afternoon with granny and grandpa, James very politely asked if he could watch Tom and Jerry when we got there. I of course very politely replied that he would have to have his afternoon nap first and then he could watch. His reply was that people only need to sleep when it's dark. My reply was that he is still young and so he needs to recharge his batteries by having a nap in the afternoon. He started to giggle and said, 'But I'm not a toy, only toy things have batteries'.

1 - nil to James.

Dump and James

He's so cute! Sometimes I struggle to keep a straight face when he gives his priceless answers.
