So, let's preface this with a few things.
1) Our living room has a two story ceiling, so it feels really open and "tall". Wesley calls this room "the Taller room". For a long time, we thought he was saying "toddler" but he is indeed saying "Taller".
2) I had the ironing board and iron down in the living room the other night ironing for my first ever consignment sale. I left the room for a few minutes, honestly, not even thinking twice about it. A few minutes later, Wes comes up to me and is saying, "Ouch, Ouch" and shows me his finger. He has a small little blister on it. Of course, I immediately asked him what happened. He said, "The iron is hot." So, I explained (not for the first time, obviously, that we do not touch irons because they are hot and will burn us.
Ok, so here is the funny.
Wes and I were sitting in the dining the room the other morning eating breakfast.
Me: Where is daddy?
Wes: He's in the taller room burning his clothes.
Gotta love him!!

School Supplies and desks
So, Ella and I went school supply shopping the other night. We decided to go before the madness of Tax Free weekend this year. Not a lot of people on a Wednesday night, but somewhat still a challenge to find everything on the list. Somehow, some of the items teachers ask for don't quiet match with what the store actually sells. So, you just do what ya can and know that everything will be okay :)
On our way home, we started talking about the 1st grade. Ella is SOOO excited that she is getting an actual desk this year. Here is our conversation in a nutshell.
Ella: Well ya know Mom. When you start 1st grade and 2nd grade and all the way thru, well college, then even when you go to work, you get a desk. Ya know, everyone that works has a desk.
Me: Really? Well, what do that look like? I mean, where do you put your stuff. Is there a basket on the bottom? (yes, that is what my desk looked like in high school!)
Ella: No, there is this thing...in the center of the desk...that is where you put all your stuff.
Me: Oh okay.
Ella: And you have a chair. Because you can't stand all day. You would get tired, so you need some place to sit, so everyone has a chair.
Me: Oh, well that's good :)
Pretty cool how their little minds work!
