Frosty's and Kids

William came with me to Dallas on Monday.  It was kind of weird because I had to go to school and work and he didn't have anything to do except work.  It was fun to come home to him though.  Monday and Tuesday night he cooked me dinner and last night we went out to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen.  Monday after dinner we went to get Frosty's.   

William saw a commercial for the new Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty and apparently fell in love.  He yelled at me while I was doing the dishes "I don't believe it... a commercial just made me want to rush out and buy a product."  It was pretty amusing.  We called Megan, Taylor and Hayden to see if they wanted one.  We all got Frosty's and sat and caught up on life since I hadn't seen them in two weeks.  Hayden showed us his newest book.... Here is an example (its a phone book by the way):

Apparently, according to Hayden (my 4 year old cousin), this book contains information about horses that race.  He has a "horse" named Cactus.  He was showing me all of his stats in the book (listed under A for Cactus)... how fast Cactus can run, where he lives, who his jockey is, even what team he is on.  I didn't know horses were on teams at horse races... but you learn something new everyday.  I told him he should try to memorize his new book.  

My friends and I were discussing at school yesterday how helpful it is to be exposed to normally developing children on a regular basis.  It is very easy to forget how amazing children are.  When you work with disordered children all day long you can quickly forget how much they learn every second of the day and fast they grow and change into little people.  I'm blessed to be able to see my cousins all the time and also nanny for two great kids!
