Yesterday I finally got around to calling the owner/director of the Preschool that all my other kids went to about getting Jonathan in. We talked about how nervous he was and he will be starting in August when the other kids start the next year of school. I told him about this after I got off the phone and in true Jonathan form, he got all whiney and said things like, "No" and " I don't want to go to that school. I want to go to Jenny's school". So I very nicely explained that he can not go to Kindergarten until after he goes to Preschool which he will start after his birthday when he is 5 and it will be so fun, you won't even have to take a nap anymore.
These are the words that he heard:
five , Birthday and No nap
When Mike walked in the door after work, Jonathan immediately rushed over to him and said, " Dad, last night I had a birthday and now I am five and I don't have to take naps!"
Seriously, he is the reason I have gray hairs!

So funny. :)
It's amazing to me, how they hear so clearly and so well when it applies to their sweet little desires, but suddenly go DEEEF when you dare infringe on their time and liberties.
That is awesome, I love it. way to go mom using those words to appeal to him, and then break it to him that it is about nine months away.
lol
Ha! My kids haven't taken naps since they were two. I derive sort of a sadistic pleasure when other people join me in the ranks of the frazzled.
