table talk

so today . . . i was sitting at a table with my two little kindergarten boys. they were working on an art project and talking to each other. i was doing some computer stuff, so while i heard their voices, i wasn't really tuned in to what they were saying. as i sat there, staring at the computer, i realized how tired i was. "i'm tired!" i said. and joshua said, "of us?"

i just sat there for a minute. and then i laughed and said, "no! not of you!"

they do talk a lot. and it is easy to just let their voices just sort of flow around me and not really listen to what they are saying. and sometimes i do that, because as i said, they talk ALL THE TIME. it's language development run amok. but i find that when i am listening to them, they just crack me up! they are the sweetest little boys. they complete their work carefully. they usually make good choices. they hug me for no reason. and yet, they draw pictures of tyrannasaurus rex and great white sharks with bloody teeth. i guess that's a boy thing--diandra drew rainbows!
