Napkins & Buttons

Last week, I told Michael, a preschooler, that he should open his napkin so that he has more of it to use.

Today, he held up his open napkin and said, "Mrs. F---, I opened my napkin!"

A few other kids held up theirs and said, "Me too!"

Cute! My dad actually started this when he told my cousins, brother, and me to open up our napkins when we were little. Funny how much kids listen sometimes.

That reminded me of when I told V. (another preschooler) that putting two soft blocks together made something that looked "like a button" for a rocket launcher or something (if you push the middle part down, it goes through the other part like a button). A few days later, he came up to me and said, "Look. It's like a button." That was the first indication that these kids will actually listen and understand me. I have to be careful. haha
