This morning when Maverick demanded that I SIT NEXT TO HIM at breakfast, I did...usually I'm getting coffee going, unloading the dishwasher, helping Josh out the door...so I don't always sit next to him when he asks. I feel like if we're in the same room chatting, there's no reason I can't be productive WHILE engaging with my kiddo. However, some days I sit. Today was one of those days...
And while we sat, I asked my favorite little buddy a long list of questions just to see what his answers were now that's he's a big old three-year-old...here's what I got:
