Strange Boys

"Are you blind or something?"

"Oh, that's a bummer."

Just a couple of new quotes I've heard Devon (5 yrs old) mention the past couple of days. The first one took me by surprise and I couldn't believe what I heard, I just started laughing. I was packing to come home yesterday from up north and I asked him where his hat and mittens were so we wouldn't forget them. He gets off the couch, walks past me in the foyer, around the corner, points, blurts that out and then goes walking past me back to the couch! It was so funny at the time and he threw in the appropriate visuals with his palms up, arms outstretched and a look of disbelief on his face. Perfect use of the phrase at the time, but you probably had to be there to fully appreciate it. He's such a ham!

So I got my boys to bed tonight, normal time. Nothing unusually there, they're good about going to bed. About 2 hours later I heard a cough, some rustling going on downstairs. Didn't think anything of it. About 10 minutes after that I went to check on things. Get downstairs, notice Conner's bedroom light is on (can't see in the room yet because of the angle) so I head over. I look around the door and see Conner in the middle of the room getting dressed. It's 10 p.m.! He already has a shirt on and pants in hand.

Me: "What are you doing?"
Conner: "Getting ready for school."
M: "Why?"
C: "Because it's time to go to school."
M: "No, it's still night time, jump back in bed."

He looks at the clock, looks at me, looks at the clock again.

C: "Isn't it time for school?"
M: "Nope, not yet."
C: "Okay."

And he crawled back into bed. I'll ask him about it in the morning, but he won't rememer it. He sleep walks every now and then, but this is the first time he's started getting dressed or anything like that. Usually he just comes to find me and sits or lays down next to me. Hmmm, as he gets older I better make sure the car keys are hidden so he doesn't go driving off or something while in one of these trances!
