We have a lovely Lazy Boy recliner in our livingroom by the fire. Of course the kids love to rock in it (which is fine unless Niki gets to rocking so hard it bangs the wall') but recently Niki discovered the arm that reclines the chair and now pulls it out. I tell him no that it will break (and surely it will because he then climbs on the foot part). His response is "We can buy a new one!" How does he understand that already? He doesn't understand that we don't buy those things again.
He is really into the shopping this lately. He has a little cash register and likes to sell and buy pretzels and apples. He gets coins and passes them to me and then gives the goods when I pay him. He and Jenna get a big kick out of paying now for things at the bakery or stores.
They also understand about tickets and how they get you in places. They both want to put in the ticket at the swimming pool turnstall. Or at the train station or to get in places. It is fun to see the world through their simple eyes where time, money and effort doesn't exist.
How amazing those two are! I guess that says something for their vigilence and perception of the world. My cousin had a fascination with jumping on furniture and the only cure was gymnastics class. She later became a star athlete and even in her 20's still has the urge to jump on furniture! I don't understand -- I'd MUCH rather sit & relax!
