Riddles

At Beckett's school, the teacher has a riddle bag. The kids get to take it home and hide something in it. The parents and kids write down three clues to what is in the bag. The next morning, the teacher shares the clues and the other kids guess what's there. When it was Beckett's turn he put in a toy dinosaur. These were his clues: They're big. They're not real anymore. They say, "Roar".

Now Beckett is really into riddles. He loves to tell them and hear them. This was the conversation this morning as Beckett opened the fridge.

Beckett: Mommy I want a snack.

Me: Let's wait till lunch time.

Beckett: I want something that's green and in a jar.

Later that day...

Beckett: Dad, I want to drink something that's white.

His other language skills are coming along too. After lunch today he said, "I will put my dishes away very carefully, Mommy. Yes, I will."

In other news, Alden is doing great. He just smiles and laughs all the time. We've discovered a sibling similarity. Alden loves to hear silly words. Beckett's favorite was "couch". He just cracked up whenever he heard it. Alden seems to prefer "pistachio". He also loves to look at Beckett and I am sure he recognizes him.

PS: In case you didn't get Beckett's riddle, he was asking for 1. Pickles and 2. Milk ; )
