I haven't posted about Halloween because I've been ill again and haven't downloaded the photos. I hope to accomplish that this weekend, but I did want to post something Haydan did yesterday.
He started to take his shoes off near me and I teased him saying "no, no, not here, take them off in the hallway!" He has very stinky feet and I really didn't want to smell them. He knew that's why I didn't want him to take his shoes off near me and I could see him thinking of a solution. Well, he found one. I had an airwick room freshener on a table nearby. He said "how about I put my shoes on there?" and he took his shoes off and set them near the air freshener. He came back and forth about every 4 or 5 minutes to see if his shoes had soaked up the good air yet. I was so impressed at his problem-solving process. He knew the purpose of the air freshener and applied it to the problem his shoes presented and put two and two together! He is only 4!
The other night he came in to tell me something funny from Spongebob. He said Plankton was wearing Spongebob's pants. He was laughing so hard, he thought it was just hilarious. I started laughing, too, saying how funny he would look if he were wearing Spongebob's pants. He thought about that for about a second and said "yeah, but I don't have any holes" and he pointed to his head. I laughed so hard because he had such a great comeback so fast, it was almost as if he had been thinking the same thing himself.
Well, when I feel better we are off to a sports store to find some kind of odor eater for his shoes. This old dog is smart enough to know that if a 4 year old is trying to figure out a solution to his foot odor problem, it's time to help him out.
