Dear Reader,
I am woefully behind on writing and promise to catch up soon! This evening my husband witnessed a priceless exchange between our almost four year old son and his friend from next door who is four.
Our son has a set of very thick, large pieces of chalk that his aunt and uncle gave to him as a birthday gift last year. Our son and his friend were playing with the chalk on our driveway and sidewalk this evening. Our boy all of sudden decided to throw one of the pieces of chalk on the sidewalk and smashed it in half. My husband came over and questioned him on why he broke the chalk. Our son's response, "I wanted to break that chalk in two so my friend and I could both have one. I wanted to share my piece of chalk with him." My husband then suggested that he go ahead and share the chalk.
Our son walked over to his friend who immediately says, "Cool! How did you do that?" To which our dear boy began giving instructions for smashing them in two.
Trying to be a good buddy + breaking things = perfect activity (from our soon-to-be four year old's perspective.)
Sincerely,
Abi
