I was scrolling through my blog with Bode today, showing him pictures. I kept trying to show him ones that HE was in, but he kept asking,...
Bode: "What's Keegen doing?"
Me: "He's eating grilled cheese off the ground. Silly Keegen!"
Bode: "No, Mommy! What's Keegen doing?"
I scroll up to the top pic of me and K...
Me: "He's sitting on my lap."
Bode: "Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! What's Keegen DOING?!"
I scroll around and realize he's referring to the photo of me holding a patient's newborn. So I explain...
Me: "Oh, that's not Keegen. That's a baby that I helped another mommy have. That's what I did for work. Now I help people at the hospital who have ow-ees."
Bode: "Oh."
Me: "Mommy's a nurse. Can you say 'nurse?'" (Duh, of course he can, but it was a new topic of conversation so he played along).
Bode: "Nurse." He pauses and says...
Bode: "Mommy, I want you to be a doctor."
Me: (I'm thinking, "are you kidding me kid?????") "Why do you want me to be a doctor?"
Bode: "Because."
Me: "Because why?"
Bode: "BECAUSE!"
OK, so, that conversation sort of floored me. How does he know there's any relationship between a nurse and a doctor? How does he connect the two? How is it that he and I just had a conversation that my father and I had many years ago???! HA! Crazy child.

Very very interesting. Hmm. . . maybe it's because nurses give the shots and he likes the doctors who only write on papers and smile at you and stuff.
HMM. Who can figure kid's brains out??

anyway, kids are wicked smart, aren't they? i'm floored every day by the stuff that comes out of fi's mouth (and you KNOW, that's a LOT of stuff)!
