The Stay at Home Mother

I realize that April Fool's Day is actually only a 1/2 day celebration of foolishness, but thought I would include it in my BLOG as it was an especially fun day today with my son, who is now almost four. He has now just figured out the meaning behind the day. He came and took me by the hand and led me to the window and told me that it had snowed out. He was emphatic about it and as I looked out the window, he yelled "April Fool's!" It was pretty funny. And I know that he got that joke from my dad, who had been using it since I was kid.

He then spent the next hour trying to fool the rest of the family in our household - including his one year old sister, who he kept taking to the window to look out. She will look at ANYTHING - so not too hard to fool her....:)

It has been a fun day though and its so great to watch my son and daughter both now, start to realize the world around them. My son is really looking forward to his fourth birthday which is coming up in three weeks. The theme of his birthday is Batman. What's really funny about it is that he has never seen a Batman movie or tv show - ever. So how does he know about Batman? Your guess is as good as mine. I think Toys R Us may have something to do with it.
