We were having our homework and pre-school time after school this week when I decided to bring out a bag of candy corn. When Simon finished a row of his pre-writing work, I gave him a candy corn. When Noah completed his writing assignment, I gave him a candy corn. When Eli completed his spelling worksheet, I gave him a candy corn. And so it went. Homework time is fun when candy corn is around the corner.
Then it had been a few minutes since I'd doled out the goods. Simon said, "Can I have another one of those acorns?"
I look at him and think, "Acorn?" Then I realize he means candy corn and smile. These days of mixing up words and misprouncing are getting fewer and fewer. He'll learn soon enough so I hand him an acorn and assign another row for him to complete.

I'm looking forward to those days with Alex, as most of them have passed with the girls. Occasionally they'll mispronounce something and my heart warms just a little, remembering all of their funny words as little ones.
I'm sure Simon enjoyed his acorns.
