Shower Time!

Sydney is getting older, wiser and figuring more and more things out everyday.  But once in awhile, not as often as it used to be, I find myself in a cute innocent little conversation with her full of misused words or understandings that have been bouncing around in her head and I don't want to correct her.  Just the way I didn't want to every tell her that 'freeschool' is really 'preschool.  Or 'bathtized' is 'baptized'.  I just love the sweet innocence and misunderstandings in their minds.  It keeps them young and so cute!

Last night while we were working on a puzzle Sydney asked, "Mom, why are you doing a wedding shower for Ms. Grabert (her teacher)?  I thought there were only baby showers."

Me: "There are baby showers and weddings showers.  You can have both."

Sydney: No response, but I can tell she is thinking.

Me: Waiting.....

Sydney with a concerned look: "You are going to watch Ms. Grabert take a shower?!?!"

Me: "Wait, what!?"

Me: "Sydney, what do you think mommy does at all the baby showers I go to?"

Sydney with a timid voice and sweet look on her face: "Watch a baby get a shower....? And get clean."

Me:  "Oh Sydney, when i go to a shower it means to 'shower' someone with gifts.  Give the person lots of presents."

Sydney: "Ohhhh....I get it!  I thought you were going to watch Ms. Grabert took a shower.  That would be weird."

I'm still giggling thinking about our conversation.  Even though we LOVE Sydney's teacher, I don't really want to see her shower either.  What a sweet, sweet girl!  Like I wrote earlier, cute misunderstandings of words are coming far and few and I'm going to miss them.
