Last night, after Andrew's second day of transitioning to Pre-K, he was sitting on the potty before bed and we were chatting. Our conversation went something like this:
Andrew: When I go to Kindergarten, I'm going to go see the principal a LOT.
Me: Why are you going to see the principal?
Andrew: Because if you don't listen you have to go see the Principal (with a "duh, Mom!" tone).
Me: I think you should really use your listening ears instead of having to go see the Principal! If you have to see the Principal for not listening then he/she will call Mommy and Daddy.
Andrew: Yep and so I'm going to go see him and talk to him and then I'm going to take him to Russia!
I tried to understand more about the Russia part but at that point he was over the whole going potty thing and instead hopped off the toilet, turned his bare bottom to me and said "you can't get my booty!". :-) What a charmer.
So, is my son talking about kidnapping the Principal and taking him to Russia so he can't call us?!?! And should I be worried that he's already planning to be in the Principal's office a year from now?
I think, in my heart of hearts, I'm just going to believe that Andrew will want to take the principal on a tour of his home country. Just go with it, people... Humor me. :-)
Happy over the hump day!

What a sweet, thoughtful child you have, wanting to build a relationship with his principal and share his home country with him! ;)
LOL! Jenny that was a funny comment... I agree, I'll go with you on that one!
Great stuff...looks like we'll be swapping stories as our children enter the school system.
I walked out to the car the other afternoon after picking them up at my parents and our son had opened the sun roof, had the radio on, and was standing on the center console and dancing out of the sun roof. I thought...this will be him on spring break in about 12-14 years.
We might both be in trouble!!
Hilarious!
That certainly had me laughing - that boy is toooo funny! I was thinking tour of Russia, too.
Too cute!!! You gotta love the potty conversations!
So, Daniel actually fell off the potty one night while we were chatting it up. I couldn't catch him, he was fine - but now I think he should concentrate more!!!!
Great post...that little guy is a character..wonder where he gets that?...hmmm...maybe...YOU!
Hi Becky,
It is your long lost blog friend! Sorry it has been a while - I have been catching-up with you all one by one. Your little guy is just too funny!! I love the pictures!!
I am so glad you all are having a great summer! Our summer has been nice, too,but we are back to square 1 (yet again!) with our adoption process because Moldova was put on hold by our agency due to the adoption laws changing there. We think we are going to give it one more shot before throwing-in the towel and we are actually thinking of Russia again! Well, Take care and email you soon...Teresa
Too funny! Everyone likes to go to Russia and perhaps the principal has never been? I see that as a good like extra credit.
