Thanksgiving plans

This morning on the way to work, Greyson asked to go back home. I explained that we only had to go to school and work two days this week. To entice him to go to school, I mentioned that we would go to Aunt Gail's farm on Thursday.

Rachel: On Thursday, we'll go to Aunt Gail's farm.

Greyson: Farm!?

R: Yeah, Aunt Gail's farm! Won't that be fun?

G: Aunt Gail's farm! See animals. Donkeys and sheep and horses and dogs!

R: That's exactly right, we'll see her donkeys and sheep and horses and dogs. And kitty cats too.

G: See kitty cats too, Mommy!

R: Yeah, so let's go to school for two days, then you can stay home with Mommy one day while we get ready, then we can go to Aunt Gail's farm for Thanksgiving!

G: Thanksgiving Turkey!

He totally gets it. Unfortunately after talking it up so much, he clung to me a little bit as I dropped him off at daycare and softly murmured "Aunt Gail's farm?"

Now to teach him about time. Three more days buddy, just three more days.
