Yesterday morning at breakfast Gideon started to say, "I want to learn how to..." and then he paused in thought, so I contributed, "Read?" "No! I want to learn how to be nice." Gideon started to sing part of a primary song with the line, "I want to do just what is right, each and every day." This was apparently his inspiration for wanting to learn how to be nice. Fast forward a few hours. Gideon was teasing Silas and making him cry. "Gideon that is unkind." I said. Without any reminding on my part, Gideon recalled and promptly amended his previous announcement by saying, "What I meant was, I want to learn how to be nice tomorrow."
I was discussing with Gideon the reasons why he needed to learn how to wipe his own bum. "When you get to kindergarten, your teacher will not be able to wipe your bum for you." "Oh. When I get to kindergarten, will I be a man?" "No, you'll just be a really big boy." "Hmm. Well, I'm not going to learn how to wipe my bum until I'm a parent."

I see he's already learned to procrastinate. There's a gene for that. He get's it indirectly from me.
Laughing so hard over being nice tomorrow. Hehehe.
