When Are We There Mommy?
June 22, 2011
Sydney’s been asking a lot of time-related questions lately. I give her lots of examples, but I don’t think they’re doing much good yet! Here’s a great example of one of our exchanges:
When are we going to gymnastics mommy? In an hour. How long is an hour? About the time you play on the playground and slab at Westminster.
(5 minutes later) Is it time to go yet mommy? No, not yet. I can’t wait any longer. We don’t have a choice sweetie. They aren’t open yet. What time do they open? In 30 minutes. When is 30 minutes.
(10 minutes later) If I eat a yogurt, will it be time to go to gymnastics afterwards? Yes. Right after? About 15 minutes after. How long is 15 minutes?
(5 minutes later) I’m not having any fun any more. Can you ask me why mommy? Why? Because I can’t wait to go to gymnastics.
