lincoln, the protector


yesterday lincoln (4 yrs) thought courtney "hit" christopher (both 9 mths). lincoln tried to hit her back. i asked why he was trying to hit courtney and he told me she hit chris. i explained that the babies are too young to try to be mean and if someone hits he should tell mommy instead of hitting back. i asked if he would like to tell courtney sorry to make her feel better. he said "no. i want to talk to courtney." (okay....????) he said: "courtney, don't hit chris or i will tell mommy." he did tell her sorry and then he turned to christopher. "chris, if courtney tries to hit you, you come to me."

That is funny!! Lincoln is one smart kid! It just shows you how close kids pay attention to their parents. (Definitely not the hitting part! :)) He's already becoming a dad!!!
