Tuesday: conversations

While at the playground this morning, Lion and Little Lion appeared.  They are basically Big Tickle Monster and Little Tickle Monster, but they roar.  After nap time Isaac was talking about Little Lion and how he needed to wear a shirt so that he wasn't brr.  (I'm not sure why brr is so often substituted for cold.  He drinks brr water too.)
**********
Isaac: Dad, don't eat me!
Ben: Why not?
Isaac: I'm old.
Isaac: Like Grandma.
Ben: oh, yeah?  How old is Grandma?
Isaac: two.
Ben: How old are you?
Isaac: two.
**********
Isaac: Dear God, thank you for dropping things from up high.
Ben: Anything else you want to thank God for?
Isaac: water bottles up high.

We thought the prayer was going downhill at that point.  The first part might have reference the marbles that he played today, so that was fine.  But water bottles up high??  No clue what was going on there.  Speaking of marbles, he wanted to play them today but I told him no because his bedroom still wasn't clean.  (It had gotten very messy over the weekend.)  So he started to clean it and did a really good job...the puzzles were put together and even in the right spot in his bookshelf.  I started to help a few minutes later and we got it very clean.  Only to get it messy with marble works immediately afterwards.  But that's fine with me.  It's at least a controlled mess.
