I Can Do Anything!

This morning was show and tell at school for Lincoln. He chose to take a new small Lego set he got for his birthday. I didn't want it to break and to have loose pieces in his backpack so I put the set into a Tupperware bowl with a lid. I showed him the bowl and asked him if he would be able to take the lid off all by himself when it was time to show his Legos. He immediately replied by saying, "mom, I am six now! I can do anything!" I love his positive attitude.

Roots

Last night we went to an older woman's house to drop something off. Lincoln wanted to come to the door with me, but I encouraged him to stay in the car with David. I hurried to the door to drop off the item and ran back to the car. When I got in Lincoln asked, "what did that lady's face look like?" I told him that she is a pretty lady with a nice face. Then he asked, "does she have roots on her face?" Confused I asked him hat he meant. He said, "sometimes old people have roots in their face." I giggled as I realized that he was referring to wrinkles.

Today I asked Lincoln if he would put his dirty clothes away. He politely replied, "mom, I would really love to, but I can't." Before I knew what to say he ran outside to play. Funny kid.

Marvelous!

When i get Lincoln from school I always ask him how his day was and he always replies with a simple "good." When picking up Lincoln from school today I asked him how his day was. He replied with an enthusiastic, "marvelous!"
I thought it was adorable.
