How old is Jaeden???

     Last night we went to Lupe Tortillas (a local mexican restaurant), it's become one of our favs because they have a large sand box with a slide and toys to play with outside; therefore, the boys have a blast while we actually enjoy a meal since we sit outside.  Although at our last visit just before xmas, Jayce wandered into the kitchenm but that's another story.  Anyways, last night the sandbox was pretty crowded, which made Jaeden excited because he LOVES making new friends.  Anywhere we go, mcdonalds, the mall play area, parks, he's always searching for new friends to play with.  Last night, he somehow started talking with these two girls and one of their brothers. The girls were nine, Jaeden later told us. (I had assumed they were 8 or 9).  Who knows what they talked about for quite awhile.  Jaeden told us later they talked about marriage, boyfriends and girlfriends. Jaeden was so excited about his new friends, he came to the table and asked Jayce to come meet his new friends; it was pretty cute.
     The funniest part of the story is what we found out in the car.  After Jaeden told me, Sophia was 9, I asked him what he told her.  Jaeden laughed, saying he told her, he was in Kindergarten.  Joel and I were cracking up.  (He doesn't even start kindergarten til 2011 - a year and a half from now) From further conversation, the girl had asked him what grade he was in, so he "logically??" replied Kindergarten.  We could tell Jaeden thought he was pretty smart coming up with that little lie.  He's only 4 and already lying to the girls.
     Even stranger... this is how he looked, Jayce and Jaeden had a blast painting their faces at the children's museum a couple hours before we went to dinner.  Jaeden really wanted to leave the paint on for 3 days he told us, but I said he couldn't sleep with it on, so it was washed off in the bath that night. 

If trying to understand it, he said it was a bat (across his forehead) and below was the bat cave.

That actually does look like a bat and it is the same colors as the bat cave. Very impressive work. A real Jackson Pollock you have there! And the story shows the wonderful nature of children, they are so less critical and judgemental as we as adults are. The girls probably really got it and wished they too had been attacked by paint. If Jaeden had the materials I'm sure he would've been glad to help them out.
