The Inner Workings of a 3 Year Old Mind

 Yesterday evening Xavier was tearing around the 'circle' of our living room, toy room, and the hallway - pretending he was in a race, of course - when he trips over his fire truck and stubs his toe. He promptly decides that his fire truck needs a time out, so he marches it over to the stairs, sets it down, gets a very stern look on his face, and while pointing at the truck, tells it, "Now you stay there!" He proceeds to tell me that his fire truck is in time out and has to stay on the stairs - just in case I didn't hear him say so a moment earlier.

What a kid! Even when I've had a rotten day, he knows how to cheer me up, often without even realizing it!
