The difference between a three-year-old and a six-year-old boy is…
• While ordering at Culver's, the six-year-old has [quite ingeniously] discovered how to hang his coat from one of your coat buttons as you are placing an order for a kids meal. Meanwhile the three-year-old has plopped his own coat down on the floor in front of the counter without a single thought as to what would ever become of it afterward.
• While leaving the table to get a straw for the three-year-old after just setting the dinner tray down, the six-year-old has completely consumed his chocolate milk by the time you return with the straw. [elapsed time: 15 seconds]
• While shopping in Target, the six-year-old is twenty feet ahead of you and you are trying desperately to slow him down. The three-year-old is twenty feet behind you and you are desperately trying to speed him up.
• Somewhere between Target and home the three-year-old finally finishes his chocolate milk. [elapsed time: 1 hr. 15 min.]
Nuff Said.

Sometimes I wish I could live life at the pace of a three year old. There's always enough time to look at everything in Target, to take naps, and to finish your chocolate milk.
What a difference kindergarten makes!
I don't care who ya are, that's funny, right there. Heh!!
Now try all that with 3 kids, all of them talking at once, all of them grabbing at you, and all of them becoming increasingly louder to be heard over the others.
Oh wait, you witnessed that at Luigi's. Heh, again!!
You and Alana are great, and you have great kids. I'm blessed to know you!
Too funny, too true! Great observations!! I miss those observations...
