Naomi made me smile this week when she came home excited from pre-school and announced she was "doing a program" (deliberate spelling because it was a very American sounding phrase to me!). Today rolled around and she was being uncooperative about getting ready to go and leaving the house. I said, "Come on, Naomi, it's your programme. You've been looking forward to it all week!"
Naomi: I'm bored of the programme.
Debs: Well, only one more time, then it will be over.
How can a four year old be bored of things already? It's her favourite word. Last week I did not get to go to the Elem Christmas party because Rose and Naomi were both tired and feeling ill. When I told them I would stay home, Naomi said (well, shouted, really!), "No. I want you to go to school. I'm bored of you, mummy!"
It helps me keep a humble perspective (despite myself!)
