I absolutely love the conversations that I have with my kids in the car. I have learned a lot about Kristopher especially and all of his dreams and aspirations. He is only 3, but already he has a wide imagination and knows exactly what he wants to do! This post will be all about him and his great imagination. I will do more spotlights on the other kids soon.
Having 4 kids leads to many many many interesting discussions! Some of which should probably never be had. LOL
Here is his list of things that he must do as a 3 year old!
1. Ride a big horse with Mommy: “Mommy. I want to ride the horse with you. Can I hold on to you when i ride the horse? I will hold on tight so I don’t fall.”
2. “Skate Ice”: There is an ice rink that we pass by sometimes near their job. He saw them and decided that he wanted to do it too. “Mommy, can you skate ice? I want to know how to skate ice!
3. Ride an airplane: At only 3 years old, he and Jayden have ganged up and already they want to travel the world, starting with Disney World of course!
4. Learn to swim:
“Can you swim Mommy?”
“No, Kristopher. I can’t.”
“you can’t? but you are a grown-up!”
“I never learned.”
“Can Daddy swim?”
“Yes, he can swim a little bit.”
“Granny can swim. She will teach me how to swim. She can teach you too Mommy”
5. Ride an elephant: This one is because I rode an elephant as a kid and there is a photo showing it. So now he must do it too, while holding on to me of course. 
Everyday as we drive he talks about when we are going to do all of these things. The biggest one seems to be to learn to swim. I really need to start recording some of these conversations! He and Jayden sit in the back and talk like 2 old men rocking on the porch! This morning it was Kristopher saying “Mommy is a grown up. Daddy is a grown up too.” Jayden replies “No, he’s not! Daddy is not a grown up” They argued back and forth about it for 5 minutes!!
Just for kicks, here is a cute video from their first birthday complete with messy cake:
