Precious Memories

Kids are amazing...but we all know that! There are many times I want to get into the head of my 2yo and figure out his thought processes!

For instance:

Today he woke up from his nap and told me he had a 'sore tummy' and he was rubbing it... I decided to offer him some water, thinking perhaps that would help him, in case it was from constipation..
I fill his sippie cup with yummy ice cold water and hand it to him.  With a polite thank you, he takes it and pushes up his shirt and places the sippie cup on his tummy!  I smile everytime I think of this!!!!
I ask him what he's doing and he tells me "it hurts, help hurts"... teehee...
I told him that the water was for him to drink!!
I ended up giving him his Nemo BooBoo Ice Pack and he proceeded to place that on his sore tummy and drink his water!

Amazing..the thought process for a 2yo to think that putting an icepack on his tummy will help.  I know we've done it perhaps two other times for him..once when he busted his lip open at the shopping mall, and once when he hurt his big toe and it was bleeding and bruised!  The little mastermind has retained that information and used it to help himself!!

On an end note...we have been learning the difference between an 'inside hurt' and an 'outside hurt'....and 'outside hurt' does get you a very ultra cool Wiggles band-aid, however an 'inside' hurt doesn't...needless to say he is still trying to pass 'inside hurts' such as tummy aches as an 'outside hurt' just to score that prized Anthony, Jeff or Dorothy band-aid, or his favourite Big Red Car one!!!

I love this kid!!!!
