We just got back from a fun week on our mini- roadtrip/ "staycation" in Portland. A few conversations between us and our little guy I wanted to share. Sorry if you're tired of hearing me say how amazingly brilliant our son is, but if it bothers you, too bad. It's the honest truth and here's proof:
While in Portland we went to the Oregon Zoo. The last time we were there was in March, I think (so, nearly 5 months ago). On that last trip, Kai fell in love with the foot massage chairs. They're a big plastic bench (like a log maybe?) and you put your feet into areas which massage them. Anyway... we could not keep him off those things. We have not seen or talked about such things since. The second we walk through the front entrance of the zoo, he spots those chairs (from at least 100 feet away, might I add) and starts talking about them and wants to go sit on them. We are totally convinced that he remembered them...from 5 months ago! I didn't even remember them!
Driving around Portland, it's impossible to miss the MAX trains running throughout the city. Of course, Kai noticed these right away because he loves trains. We casually mentioned how we had taken the train out to the airport, but we did not talk about why. (It was last December, for our Family Day celebration). Out of nowhere and completely on his own, Kai says, "Mommy Daddy pick up me at airport". Of course, we have told him his story over and over. How he was born in Korea and we met him at the airport. This is the first time he's repeated it back, without any prompts from us.
This kid has got an amazing brain...I am really getting frightened for what we're up against in 10 years...

Ha ha! It's amazing what those little brains prioritize!
No need to apologize--I'm always telling people how amazing and brilliant my kids are! It's a parents JOB to brag about our kids! They are also the cutest, most talented, sweetest, funniest, etc., right?
