One of life's little lessons...

Typically as we take Lincoln through his bedtime routine (bath, reading, etc.), he says random stuff that he remembers from earlier in the day. Well, today he remembered an important bit of knowledge I had shared with him this morning - "It's not dog poop, it's mud".

This morning, after a big rain storm, we were surveying the yard, flowers, etc. Lincoln stepped in some mud and said "it's dog poop." I'm not sure why he thinks he knows what dog poop is, but he thought he had stepped in some. As a wise father, I explained that "it's not dog poop, it's mud."

I guess that stuck with him because it popped out of his mouth tonight before bed. I thought it was pretty funny and laughed, so he, being a show-off, continued saying "it's not dog poop, it's mud" over and over until he went to sleep.


To finish off, here's a mostly unrelated picture from June 3, 2006. Can you believe that was two years ago? It's gone by fast.
