happy st. patrick's pastor's day

at garrett's preschool, the kids know the church's pastor pretty well. he stops in the class all the time (he's married to the teacher). garrett really likes him. the kids just call him "pastor".

here's my conversation with garrett yesterday before preschool...

me: garrett, today is st. patrick's day

garrett: WHAT? it's pastor's day?

me: no st. patrick's day

garrett: pastor's day?

me: no ST. PATRICK'S day

garrett: WHAT?

me: ST. PATRICK'S day

garrett: WHAT? say it in my ear.

the funniest part of this whole thing is that we have similar conversations ALL day long. and they always end with "say it in my ear" as he turns his head and puts his ear in my face. for a while i've been thinking i should get his hearing tested, but i think it's just a phase because if i can get him to stop saying WHAT he can usually repeat back exactly what i say.

(oh to be a fly on the wall at preschool. let's all say a little prayer for patience for his teacher!)

fast forward to yesterday afternoon... olivia comes home with a note from the school. she failed her hearing test (left ear). so now i have to have her screened again at the health department. i'm thinking i'll take "say it in my ear" boy with us :)
