Reid(7) is a bit impulsive.
Before he could swim, he would just jump into a pool.
What is your plan, Reid?
He climbs high into a tree and can’t get back down.
What is your plan, Reid?
He refuses to pee before leaving the house even though it is obvious that he is uncomfortable.
What is your plan, Reid?
I guess that is why I find this series of photos I took at the park the other day as a sign of
planning maturity:
I asked him why he was laying under this play equipment.
Because it is fun, mom.
And then I realized it was a plan to irritate his brother.
And then I realized it might have been a much bigger plan.
Wow…that is one devious and crafty young man.
Then again, there’s also the possibility that he might get fallen upon.
But, that’s a level of foresight that many adults don’t even have.
So I won’t hold it against him.
I love peeks into the lives of families with boys. My 3 girls are amazing, but boys are a totally different kind of magic.
