It’s been a while since I’ve done a “Conversations with A 3 Year Old” segment.  It’s honestly not that I haven’t had enough fodder for this section, just lack of time.  When Monkey was having endless conversations at bedtime (he was in bed, but had decided he shouldn’t sleep so he was talking to whoever would listen) the subject matter was quite fanciful.

First, he and Bugs were completely succeeding in the avoidance of sleep by having a conversation about astronauts.  I couldn’t completely pick up on the conversation except to hear Monkey say “astronaut” a lot.  I can only imagine that it might have had something to do with the fact that about a week ago he told me he would like to sleep on the Moon.  Well then.

After a while, since sleep was evading both of them in the midst of such deep conversations, we decided to separate them into different rooms until they fell asleep.  This did not deter Monkey from trying to make conversation though…instead he would either continue talking or tell us this or that.

At one point though, I hear…”Mommy, there’s an elephant in the tree!!!”

Me: “No Honey, elephants are too big to fit in a tree”

Monkey: “Noooo, look the elephant is right there in the tree, seeee?”

Me: “Seriously Monkey, no elephants will climb into our trees”

Monkey: “Well it’s there and we should get it out!”

End of conversation.  But he’s still not asleep.

Bugs on the other hand…the one that had been moved to another room is already out like a light.

If Monkey starts seeing Bears in our trees…then we might be a tad concerned…but I’ll save that for another time (mwahahaha).
