They say kids are like sponges, picking up everything around them. Kate's been trying to understand how time works, but it's just kind of complicated.
A few weeks ago on Friday evening:
Everyone: Tomorrow we're going to the beach!
First thing Saturday morning:
Kate: Mommy, is it tomorrow?
On Thursday this week:
Me: Guess what? Tomorrow is Friday!
Kate: Why?
Me: Because today is Thursday.
Kate: But my teacher said today is the four day.
(translation note, days of the week in Chinese are Monday, day 1; Tuesday, day 2...Thus, making Thursday day 4, not the "third day" like I'm assuming she understood!)
On Wednesday this week:
Me: Kate, did you pee on the potty at school today?
Kate: No
Me: Did you pee on the potty yesterday?
Kate: (blank stare)
Me: Did you pee on the potty a few days ago?
Kate: Yep!
(editors note: It was Tuesday that she had so proudly told me upon pick up "Mommy, I peed in the potty today! Either she's having trouble remembering what happened when or she's not understanding the concept of yesterday yet, Whatever the case, she sure is a cutie!)
