Conversations with a 4 year old

On the way home from Cub when we only purchased noodles

Mason: "Mom, did we buy a newspaper?"
Me: "No"
Mason":"We got a newspaper at Cub?"
Me: "No, we didn't get a newspaper."
Mason:" Is that a newspaper in the bag?"
Me:"No honey. There is not a newspaper in the bag?"
Mason:"What is in the bag?"
Me:"Just noodles."
Mason:" What did we buy at Cub?"
Me:"Just noodles."
Mason:"We didn't buy anything else?"
Me:"No Sweethart, just noodles"
Mason:"We didn't buy a newspaper?"
Me: "Nope. We just went into Cub and bought noodles"
Mason:"Oh, I thought we bought a newspaper too."
Me:"Nope, no newspaper, just noodles"
Mason:"Oh"

I am assuming this is something developmental, because we have about 100 of these types of conversations a day. I think he is having a hard time really telling me what he wants to tell me, because when we got home it looked like the plastic bag was wrapped around a newspaper. So maybe he was trying to say that it looked like there was a newspaper in the bag. I hope I can make it through this phase with him with love and patience. Being tired and laid up and bored and having that be the majority of human interaction throughout my day does wear on me. But only5 more days until I can add more activity!!!

We had a beautiful fall day here today! Mason and I went to the park for 2 hours and when we got home Craig was home, so he took Mason for a hike on a new trail near our home. He should sleep tonight. I met a woman at the park pregnant with her 2nd and due on Nov 25th. We are delivering at the same hospital so we might see each other! Although she looked like she could be due in Jan or Feb. She was very tiny and I felt even bigger than i usually do!!!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend!! No sign of mice so far!
