Hannah seems to be on a roll this week.
Today is Thursday. Thursday is the oh-so-treasured-swimming-lesson day. Every morning, Hannah wakes up and says "Is today my swimming lesson?"
"No today is Monday. You have school."
"Is it show and tell?"
"no, that's Friday."
We have the same conversation on Wednesday.
On Tuesdays she gets frustrated because there isn't any school, but there isn't any swimming lesson either. The Tuesday question is always, "So what exactly ARE we going to do today?" Imagine her disappointment when I say "Nothing."
On Thursdays, before she can even ask, I will say "Guess what day it is?"
"MY SWIMMING LESSON!!" Hannah will holler as she leaps out of bed and runs to find her coveted bathing suit, even though her lesson isn't until 2:00pm. It makes for a long day.
"Is it my lesson now?"
"No. After lunch."
"Now?"
"No, not for two more hours."
"Now?"
"Now."
Four year olds seem to have a little more concept of time than three year olds, but not much. At least she doesn't beg every ten minutes like she did last year.
So today, during her much anticipated lesson, she did something rather unusual for the Hannah. She pushed her fellow classmate causing the classmate to cry. Her classmate was bending over to wash off her goggles. Thankfully, the other little girl didn't fall into the water, as Hannah had hoped.
Her teacher asked, "Why did you push her?"
Hannah, all serious, replied, "Well, her hiney was sticking up at me and I couldn't stop myself."
That answer made it just a little difficult for her instructor to go through the water safety rules while maintaining composure.

Love it! I'll have to use that line on her the next time she comes over! "Well, her hiney was sticking up at me and I couldn't stop myself."
