From Julia (the worldly 5 year old):
- We were exploring tidal pools at Brenton Point in Newport. It was Julia's first time there and after we had been there for only 5 or 10 minutes she decided to explore a few pools further away from us. As I started to follow her she turned around and said, "Mom, really, you can stay over there, I know my way around!"
and from Benjamin (the 2 going-on 20 year old):
- We were putting together a birthday present for his cousin Annabel and I said "we have a couple of little things for your new cousin, Finley, that we'll bring too." Benjamin, with no prompting and in the sweetest voice, said "oh, that's so nice."
- One night when we were finishing with dinner, Benjamin got down from his seat and I asked him to clear his plate. He turned to me and said very enthusiastically, "absolutely!"
