The Letter "R"

Every week, Austin's Pre-K class has the "Letter of the Week" & so after we drop Ryan off, we have a few minutes to come up with words that start with that letter.... A few weeks ago, the letter R was quite a hit...

I turned on the car radio to get him to say "Radio"... I said, "Austin, what's this??"... HIS RESPONSE: "Mom, that's Rock & Roll!!" Well, it was Country, but close enough!! haha...

So then he said, "What about Rat?"... I couldn't tell if he said Rat or Rap so I asked him to repeat it... and he said, "Rat, you know, the Mexican word for mouse!!!"

Where does he come up with this stuff!?!?! Keeps me in stitches! :)

"You're not Virtue-ing"

Austin is constantly amazing me with the things he comes up with....

The other night, we were playing a video game... and he's at the stage where he gets easily frustrated & just wants to move on to the next game.... So, Jason's been working with him on being patient & not getting frustrated....

So, I had just started to play & couldn't get my race-car to go where I wanted it to.... I said, "Arggg... get me out of here!!" Austin quickly corrected me.... He said, "Mommy, you can't get frustrated... Patience is a Virtue & you're not Virtue-ing!"

He sure told me! haha... I had to set the controller down cuz I was laughing so hard!! I guess he DOES listen when we try to teach him things!
