Memory

Lately I've realized something. Nothing makes it past Jesse. He's too smart. These are just a few recent examples.

(Jesse and his cousin Maren)

- Yesterday morning Brad promised Jesse he would bring a treat home from work. He forgot, but Jesse didn't! Brad had to turn around when he got home from work an hour late and go to the store for a treat. Brad likes to make promises to Jesse to get him to do this or that and Jesse never lets him get away with anything. We ask him how he remembers and he says "my brain works good".

- A few weeks ago we told Jesse Brad's work was having a coloring contest for little kids and he should go in it. Well, I forgot about it. Brad forgot about it. But then yesterday Jesse said to me "remember I have to color a picture for the contest?" Oh yah!

- The past few school days Jesse has worn his boots to preschool and I keep forgetting his indoor shoes. So on Friday I said, Jesse, next time you need to remind me to bring your indoor shoes to school. Of course I forgot again, but thank goodness for Jesse who on our way out the door said "Mom! My indoor shoes!"

And finally the kicker:

- Yesterday when Brad was taking a long time getting home I said to Jesse in frustration "where is daddy?"

He replied, very calmly, "I don't freakin' know where he the heck is."

Haha! Oooooooops! How were we supposed to know he was listening? :S
