Smartest kid ever or just confused?

A couple of conversations with Ryan P. over the past few days.

#1: I am holding a dinosaur up in the air when Ryan walks by...
Ryan: "Mama, that dinosaur can't fly.... That's not a pterodactyl, that's a T-Rex."
Me: "Uhhh, yes, you are correct, sorry 'bout that."

#2: As we are discussing upcoming Thanksgiving...
Ryan: "Yeah, its where you get lots of candy when you go to Santa's Tomb!"
(How many holidays is that.... four???)

#3: Bedtime Stall Tactics: After coming to the bathroom to get a drink of water:
Ryan: "Good night.... See you in the morning... Make sure you eat lots and lots of food, so you don't get cold!!!"
Me: "That doesn't even make sense.... go to bed."

#4 Ryan is eating grapes:
Me: "You need to eat at least three of those before you get down."
Ryan: "So, if I eat one, then I will only have to eat two more.... and if I eat two, then I will only have to eat one more?"
(Wow, who knew he could subtract... mommy was very proud.)

There are plenty more, but I will save them for later.... #2 is my favorite right now.

I've always thought he was a sharp one! I'm especially impressed by #4 being a bit of a math geek myself!! :) Way to go, Ryan! :)

That's great....I really should read the blog more often. I can barely keep track of my own though.

As for these comments, I really like #1.
