Analogies

We had a picnic outside today after church. Ethan was so excited. He helped Kyle put together our new picnic table yesterday and couldn't wait to use it. We bought it a few weeks ago and meant to use it on our deck. Before setting it up, Kyle wanted to fix up a few things on our deck, but what started as a quick project turned into a complete overhaul. We'll get into more details about the deck in a later post.
Lately, Ethan has been full of analogies. Last week he said "Wind is like ice cream. They're both cold." Today, while helping him floss his teeth he said, "Floss is like Woody's pull string." Our mac and cheese tonight had bread crumbs on it. They inspired the following deep thought, "Crumbs are like a fuzzy face." Tonight he also said, "A playground is kind of like a park."


The other night he really made us laugh. He passed gas and exclaimed, "Oh . . .my bum burped!"

Isn't it funny how the smallest thing can turn into a huge thing. I've still been meaning to put up a post from January about something like that, but we still aren't done with it!! Good luck with your project.

Kyle, what a funny guy. Those are some really good analogies! I especially like the ice cream/wind one.

Seriously, my brain is so mixed up. I meant "Ethan", not "Kyle". Sorry, I have a nephew named Kyle.

He gets his brilliance from his Grandma.

Sounds like you've got a little philosopher on your hands! :) I just love that his bum burped... I'm still giggling. :)
