I guess every parent thinks their kid is special - and who can blame them?

Sean turned 3 in September, and has surpassed all his mischief making abilities learned when he was 2 already.

This kids eyes are BLUE.

When he was 2  he discovered the word "no"  and put it to great use:

Parent:  Sean, come here please
Sean: NO

Parent: Sean, put that down.
Sean: NO

Parent: Sean, get back in bed this instant!!!
Sean: NO

you get my point??

Sean was a bit nervous about the upcoming birth of our Matthew.  He asked Darla one day if the baby would be wearing shoes when it was born.

His brother Ryan seems to have problems understanding why we treat the two of them differently (ie : "but SEAN doesn't get in trouble for THAT!!!").  Recently in the car (these things always seem to happen in the car, maybe its because there is no TV in the car to distract them), I had had enough of Ryan's antics and was explaining to him why Sean did not get in trouble for doing the same things Ryan gets in trouble for........

Me: "Ryan, you are almost 6 years old, Sean is only 2, you never got in trouble for doing the things he does when you were his age, but now you should know better"
Ryan: "But daaaaddd........"
Me: "Ryan, he just is not old enough to understand all this stuff - he doesn't even understand what we are talking about right now!!!"
Sean: "Yeah, I don't......"

at this point I cracked up and looked over at Darla who was laughing too.

I hope that wasn't a "had to be there" story.  Just picture a 2 year old chiming in on a conversation you are sure is way over his head - it was, but he just had to join in!!!
