It's good to take children seriously. My favorite thing to do is tell my daughter "You teach mommy so much. I had no idea" and it's the most incoherent or incorrect thought you'd interact with it.
My daughter is six and she also has type 1 diabetes. I'm explaining to her nurse and para what happened with her blood sugar yesterday and at not even 8 am my daughter goes "Mommy do I have DNA?" Like WHY!? I mean yeah but like child why 😭😭
The two year-old is now a solid two and a half. Just now, he was sitting on the couch playing with his pretend flip phone and he frowned and said “for gods sake. My battery is empty.”
The other day at breakfast I asked him if he was going to eat any more of his oatmeal and he said “no, I think I’m just gonna move on with my life.”
