Kids Talk

Jo is into “Reruns” as Cole would say. We could all be sitting together eating dinner for example in the middle of a conversation and then Jo would start recapping the whole experience.Jo pretending to be Oma or Nanny.

Here is an example of “any” conversation by Jo.
“Mom, you said,
And then Cole said …,
And I went …,
And then Oma …,
And then Mom said …,
And then Oma said …,
And then Cole did …,
And then he did …,
Then he said … while Oma said,
And I was like …,
Isn’t that funny?!”

And we all go “UHG” while we listen and smile.

Cole is so into Star Wars that he can almost relate any feeling or experience in his life to something that has happened in a Star Wars movie. The other day he was very tired and when the kids get very tired they talk about serious thing. He was all about his feelings and anger the other day.

A Jedi in training we think.

Cole’s words on what is going on inside of him.
“I feel like I am Anakin (Anakin turns into Darth Vader for those who don’t know) and there is a blaster war going on inside of me. Sometimes my anger is so bad that that part of Anakin might win and that is who I will be. I try so hard but the battle is going on inside of me and I don’t know who is going to win. But who ever does win is just who I am going to be. Anakin made bad choices when he got angry and I don’t want to but some times I just have to and that is why I am like Anakin. Some time one side will win, Mom, and that is just who I am going to be.”

Just to finish this off, I listened to him, asked questions and we talked back and forth about his feelings and the blaster battle that was going on inside of him. He is quite a deep thinking kid and I’m sure proud that not only can he put his feelings into words but he understands them too.
