What I learned in October…

#1 Our 4 year old can barter… and she’s good at it. No matter what your feelings are on Halloween candy, you can’t argue that watching a conversation unfold between a “bumble bee” and a “Rubik’s Cube” that starts with “what will two Hershey’s bars get me” isn’t entertaining.

#2 There is truly no limit to a child’s imagination… I was sitting on the floor in the living room one night. Out of nowhere, our 2 year old comes running into the room as fast as she can while screaming at the top of her lungs. She runs up to me and I’m expecting her to “hide” alongside of me. Instead she sticks her hands inside my mouth and cranks my jaw open as if she’s a lion tamer. She then peers in with one eye before yelling inside my mouth “Hello! Is anyone in there?” She waits a second, throws her hands in the air and screams “Oh no! A tiger!” And just like that, she’s running back out of the room screaming.
