Patrick and I were working on his Valentine's and his teacher Valentine presents. I asked him to draw some pictures and write on the brown paper sacks that we were putting his teachers' gifts in. Earlier this week, when we were decorating a heart for school, I taught him XOXO. But when he wrote it on his teachers' bag it translated to XXX. As innocent as it was, I just couldn't let it stay that way, so we added extra OOOs before and after the XXX.
Overheard Thursday night while watching The Disney Channel
Me: Patrick, who do you think is the prettiest - Hannah Montana or Alex from Wizards of Waverly Place?
P: "Needer" (aka Neither.) But I think you're pretty.
MY HEART SMILES!!!
P: Mom, look the Jonas Brudders (aka Brothers.) Which one do you think is the handome-est?
Me: Well, Patrick I don't really think any of the Jonas Brothers are handsome. (I really don't, I just like one song.)
P: But you think Obi Wan is handsome. . .
Me: Yes, Patrick. I do.
For a mom and her 4-almost-5-year-old, we have way too many conversations about the Jonas Brothers and Obi Wan being handsome.

Obi Wan is handsome and it sounds like you're teaching Patrick to recognize the diamonds in the rough :)
