“When will she be here?” an impatient 3yr old asked me for the umpteenth time. She was waiting for another 3 yr old to arrive and wanted to start playing asap. Second 3 yr old arrived and after they giggled and hugged, second 3 yr old handed the first 3 yr old a picture she had made. First 3 yr old held it and looked closely at it while second 3 yr old talked on and on about how she had made the picture especial for first 3 yr old and wasn’t that nice? Finally she stopped talking and they stood face to face just looking quietly at each other.
First 3 yr old said to second 3 yr old, “Ok, are you done now?” Second 3 yr old answered “Yes”. First 3 yr old put the picture down and said “Alright, then let’s go play!”

Funny. I know someone of whom I often have to ask, "Are you done?" My heart goes to the one who just wants to play...but she is very polite to have patiently listened.
ReplyDeleteYou could tell she knew she needed to wait and listen, that it was important to her cousin to tell her! It was pretty cute, one of those moments I won't forget.
DeleteSo sweet and so patient and polite! Pretty darned good for 3 year olds!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable. If we all had such patience, we'd be doing pretty darn good. We could learn a thing or two from them, it seems.
ReplyDeletejust gotta add: the apostrophe in my name always goes a bit funky here...not sure why. :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why it does that either. I did a little research and still haven't figured it out. I'm sorry!
