Too Smart for Mommy

Tonight we were reading the "I love you" book. We had gotten through one or two of the stories and were just starting the third one when we came across a picture of a little turtle eating a strawberry.

Matthew got up right away and it seemed as though he was no longer interested in the book. He ran down the hallway and started to say "down" and pointed at the stairs. "No, we have to stay up here Matthew", Mommy said. "Let's finish our story".

"Ma" He said and pointed to himself emphatically. "Matthew wants to go down?" Mommy asked? "Down"! said Matthew.

He came back to the couch, grabbed Mommy by the finger and led me downstairs. Straight to the kitchen. Straight to the fridge. "Fridge!" he said. So Mommy opened the fridge. He proceeded to kneel down to the fruit drawer and point inside. "There!" he said, pointing right at the strawberries!

So Mommy got the strawberries out and went to wash them. Matthew pointed out that we needed a plate. Then he advised me we needed to cut them. Once done, we marched back upstairs and happily finished the rest of our story, strawberries in hand.
