Marshall keeps us laughing. It seems each day he says something and I find myself trying to remember all of the funny little things he says and does at three. Without fail, I forget. I thought by at least putting a few thoughts on the blog I will at least be able to go back and read through some of the things he is saying and doing.
Last Saturday we went through the Starbucks drive thru. We had told Marshall we would get him a kid's hot chocolate. We have never done this before, in fact Marshall has always said, "Sparguck's is for grown ups." He was VERY excited. As we pulled up he decided he might like to try a frappucino. Long story short, Starbucks messed up our order and he ended up with a tall non fat java chip frap with whip (for free!-holla). He was thrilled and felt so grown up. He drank about 1/4 of it and then said "Mommy, can you put this in the cup holder? I don't want to be awake in the night." We still don't know how he knows the affects of caffeine or how he knew what he was drinking had caffeine. The boy listens to EVERYTHING!
Scott took Marshall on a father son date last night. While driving Marshall started asking questions. This is normal. Marshall asks SO MANY questions. This was the conversation as Scott told me:
M: Daddy are cheetahs fast runners?
S: Yes, cheetahs are very fast.
M: Do cheetahs eat people?
S: Yes, sometimes cheetahs do eat people. What would you do if you saw a cheetah?
M: Shoot it. But I'd wear safety goggles!
My dad would be so proud. He has always been a proponent for eye safety, so much that he tried to make my sister and me wear eye goggles when we played field hockey in high school, we had to wear safety goggles around a camp fire etc.
