The Mythbuster

Wells has been full of surprises the past few days.  Whatever we'd expect the norm to be - he's "busted" that idea.  He likes to keep things interesting I guess.

Here are a few examples:

Myth #1:  Daylight savings time is great - everyone gets an extra hour of sleep!

So here he is getting ready for bed Saturday night:

PJ's + Crocs chosen by Wells.  Nite Nite!

And then Sunday morning guess who is up at 5:30 am??  Anyone who knows Mommy knows that she does not like to wake up to any number less than an 8 (anything in the 7's is do-able, but not preferred).  And this appears to be a trend - he was up again today at 5:45.  Needless to say, I am not a fan of DST!!

Myth #2:  Children's curiosity peaks at ages 3 - 4.

I think Wells may be a little ahead of the curve on this one.  His new favorite thing is asking WHY over and over again around any given topic. I know this is very common - but I just wasn't expecting it quite yet!!

Me:  Time to go to school!
W:  Why?
Me:  Because today is Monday and you go to school on Mondays.
W:  Why?
Me:  Because those are the days we signed you up to go to school.
W:  Why?
Me:  Because you love school and we wanted you to go as many days as you could.
W:  Why?
Me:  Oh my goodness, you ask a lot of questions!!!

Myth #3:  Kids hate broccoli.

Ok, so this one is a pleasant surprise.  Who knows if it is just a food phase, but Wells cannot get enough broccoli (pronounced brocc - E) these days!!  We were at a friend's for dinner the other night and he had a meltdown because they ran out of brocc - E.  Hopefully this is a habit he got from his healthy-eating dad (I know I can't take credit for it).
