logic

in january garrett started swimming lessons for the first time. every week he would cry and scream and use every excuse in the book to get out of the pool. last week was the first week he didn't cry. (we were so proud of him...and totally shocked!) his teachers are great. he clings to their neck the entire class, but as long as he's in the water i don't care. tonight is swimming lessons...

so at breakfast today...

me: garrett, you have to eat all your yogurt.
garrett: why mom?
me: cuz that's how you'll get big and strong.
garrett: but mom... if i eat all my food i will get TOO big and strong. then i will be TOO heavy for my teachers to hold me in the pool.

we want their little brains to start working...but when they do that creates a whole other set of issues :)
