Oooh, right, got it.

This is one of my favorite new expressions of Quinn's. If ever we need to redirect and provide him with an answer he seeks, re responds thoughtfully with, "Ohh, right, got it" and the pauses between each word and the enunciation actually makes it sound like he's considering the new information and processing it. The habit is quite adorable and I relish the familiar phrases in his speech. Lately, Quinn is such a dear when it comes to inviting people to play with him or share something. Even over his McDonalds fries last night he asked me if I wanted to sit with him while he ate and then asked if I wanted to eat fries with him. Then, he proudly told his father and he and I were eating fries together. Don't get me wrong- he still has moments of self-interest that are normal for a three year old. For instance, he and I had some ice cream together and he finished his bowl first and he was more than willing to come over and ask to finish mine. It didn't phase him that I should eat my ice cream:) We do our very best to praise all of his efforts to share and be generous and honor all of his thank you's and please's. Quinn had a very independent dressing day yesterday, wanting to pick out the top he would wear for the day without anyone's help. It's cool to watch those emerging moments of decision making. Unfortunately, he selected two shorts he wasn't able to wear to preschool- Star Wars and Superman:)
