Unexpected Teachings....

Since Carter started preschool I have looked forward to all the neat things he will learn... The alphabet, counting in order, songs, stories, how to play well with others. I did not anticipate he would learn about kicking butt and boobs. Last week he came up to me in the kitchen and hit me in the bum. I turned and told him no, there is no hitting. He smiled and said, Carter kick your butt Mom. I was shocked. Fast forward to this past weekend and we all are upstairs. Carter walks up to me, lifts his shirt and I say, I see your belly. He laughs and says Carter boobs. I tell him, no, boys don't have boobs. He comes up to me pulls down my shirt and says Mommy boobs... Besides his art I have yet to see the benefit of this preschool thing ;-). Oh and he now puts up his dukes... He does not call it that but it is the only way I know how to describe it. He puts his hands up and positions his feet into a fighting stance and then punches. OH MY! I guess these life lessons were inevitable. I just did not think I would have to face them with an almost 3 year old... Now, I have no proof that he learned these things at preschool. It is actually hard for me to imagine other children teaching him these things in the short 9 total hours he has spent at preschool but I must say the timing of it all might just be too coincidental. He did not do these things 2 weeks ago.
