This weeks topic at Momdot’s Small Talk Six is “6 things about your children that you are proud of.”
I haven’t done a Small Talk Six in a while. But as the mom of two wonderful boys this one caught my attention and I had to join back in.
How does the Small Talk Six work? It is simple. Answer the topic with 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, or 6 photos.
Here are my six:
- My almost 2 yr old is amazingly smart. Each day he amazes me. He is always watching what you are doing. Then three seconds later he is trying it out.
- My oldest made it through 5 weeks in a body cast just before he turned three. He broke his femur kicking a ball. It was a tough time for all of us but you wouldn’t know anything ever happened to him.
- My boys are outgoing, personable and definitely not shy. I love this about them. They can charm the pants off anyone.
- Their fascination with the world. They are so interested in everything. I love taking them to the museum.
- Their ability to go from wild and crazy to completely focused on one small thing. Usually at this point when its quiet that I wonder what they are getting into. But as I look around the corner into their room, they are lying on the floor completely focused on a couple trains, cars, books, etc.
- Their imaginations. My oldest will tell you these crazy stories about cutting the moon, spaceships, and races. They act out stories with their toys. They dress up as cowboys, pirates or action heros and run around the house. I didn’t realize how important imagination was until we told my niece “act like your eating a sandwich” and she looked at us like “you want me to do what?”. They can have all the toys in the world but imagination is truly a gift.

5 weeks in a body cast at 2 years old. That must have broken your heart. He’s so precious.
Great list.

Your boys are adorable and very sweet too from the sounds of it. Kudos to your oldest for making it through the body cast – I guess he didn’t have much of a choice but that would be rough on anyone!

Poor little guy. That must have been so hard. Imaginations are the best. My girls have wonderful imaginations as well. Especially, my 4yo with her imaginary friends.

Great list. Poor baby to be in a cast for so long. I give you a lot of credit. That had to be a rough 5 weeks.
