kid's day {playing house}

gibbies playing
"daddy comes home from work,"
starring brennan as 'the daddy'
and max as 'the kid'
........
this morning when i was unloading the dishwasher,
brennan started chattering.
{i love the way he refers to past, present, and future events:
"lots of minutes ago, last dark day, next sunny day,
long days ago, lots of dark days ago," etc}
and so he says to me this morning,
"last days ago was mommy's day,
next day is daddy's day,
then it's kid's day.
right?
kid's day is next?
i mean boy's day.
when is that?"
and i just laughed b/c when it comes to taking turns,
this kid is a superstar.
he knows his turn is next as long as can just wait a minute for it to come.
so of course,
with all of these mother's and father's days occurring,
there must be a kid's day coming next.
very reasonable thinker.
love him.
all i could think of is that every day is kid's day,
he just doesn't know it:)
yet.

Those last two pictures are some of the cutest I've seen on your blog, which is saying a LOT.

Those photos are so tender! I once asked my Mom about a kids day, and she said all the holidays are kids days. Especially Halloween. That might be why it is now my favorite holiday. I never thought of that! Hahaha
