My son has always been a talker. He is a mover and talker. I have never seen a kid with more energy and one that could talk non-stop for hours. He will run circles around his friends. It is not even little boost of energy - it is all-the-time energy. Without naps too. The talking part, I would have probably given him a run for his money, but not on the energy part.
Lately, Colin has been talking a lot about zombies, monsters and death. I believe that these topics have been brought to Colin's attention from this little girl at his pre-school...she has moved on to Kindergarten, so hopefully the topics will run their course and be gone. Now he keeps asking me about death and points out that everyone will die at some point. Even though this is true, it is not a topic I want to be having with my 4 year old. He also thinks that zombies are real. He says he does not believe that but he acts like he does. It scares him a bit and now he has been having nightmares more often. I may have already shared this, but one day Meli fell and scraped her knee - Colin looked at her knee and then said to me, "Don't worry mom, it is not bleeding, so she will not turn into a zombie". Oh, boy.
This is a story from his pre-school teacher: A while back, Colin was playing with a toy phone. He is talking into it and all of the sudden she heard him saying "Obi-Wan, how do I fight this monster baby?" That happened to be the day that Meli was visiting at Colin's daycare for the day.
A few weeks ago during storytime we were reading this book of short fables. Each night we would read one story. It had ones like The Gingerbread Man, Little Red Riding Hood, etc. I remember those stories as a kid, but I must have either been told "nicer" versions or I was not really paying attention. Those stories are HORRIBLE! We would be reading a long and all of the sudden the wolf gobbled everyone up. Then, they had to cut open his tummy to free Riding Hood and her Grandmother. Yucky. Do not even get me started on The Tin Soldier...that was just depressing. Colin loved them though. I think mostly he liked that we were taking our time reading a big book. Each night he would ask how many stories we had left. I was so glad when the last one was done.
