My son is blossoming into such an intelligent little man. The brilliance in what he says surprises me so often. At the age of 4, he has become very literal. For example, when my husband comes home from work and says he needs a minute to relax before playing a game, Cruz wants to know exactly how many minutes and then proceeds to set a timer. And no matter what, he will hold his dad to whatever time he says. Maybe someday, Cruz will learn it's just a figure of speech and not an actual minute in time, but for now, it's so darn cute.
Yesterday, after taking Cruz to the doctor's office for a checkup and getting ice cream, I told Cruz we needed to hurry home because I had to meet with our landlord at our house at 5 o'clock. Cruz asked how much time we had to get there. I looked at the clock in my car and realized it was a quarter till and told him, "We only have 15 minutes, so we might not make it there by 5. And I'm not going to kill myself trying to get there in time."
Then Cruz says, "Yeah, because if you did that, you'd never get to meet with her." I started laughing at the pure honesty and innocence in his statement. He really brightens my day when he says stuff like that. At his age, he really sees the world in a different light, and he always amazes me.
That is cute!
