Last month when Rohun visited NYC for "take your kids to work day" he quipped loudly as we passed a group of business-clad men & women -- "these people with sticks on fire in their mouths - are they smoking"! He walked around in amazement looking like a country bumpkin seeing the big city for the 1st time. :-)
These days his sole purpose is to compete with his sister - 5 yrs older than him! Last night he was up till 10 am reading several kiddie books to equal her 1 book of 248 pages! His total was barely 145 pages! He would not let me finish my late dinner but was dragging me to find him books to read all the time talking non-stop about how he has to read for the "family" so that Rutha does not win! And would I want that to happen? - he asked! Finally Dad had to declare that the contest would have 2 prizes - 1 for the most books read & 1 for the highest number of pages read!! His teacher was very surprised when I told her about his competitive attitude at home - he does not display it at all in school!
Today he was talking about how if he tries to blow a balloon it could choke him and could cause him to die so when he goes to heaven the babies there will be able to read his name in the Bible. I think he had the Book of Life all confused with the Bible!
