Follow Your Dreams!
Xander has obviously watched too much Disney, or listened to too many fairy tales, or been to too many motivational school assembly speeches. Whenever I tell him I can't do something, he says something back like, "Don't give up! Just keep following your dreams. You can do it!" It's sort of cute. Today, however, I overhead him talking to Grace. She had just asked me for something and I said no. As I came around the corner, I heard Xander giving her his wise advice. "If Mommy says 'No,' just keep asking her until she says yes. You have to keep following your dreams until they come true. Never give up!" That must be why he is so persistent- he's not nagging; he's following his dreams! I had to crush their dreams and tell them that actually, if Mommy says no and they keep asking then they will get in big trouble for not listening and their dreams will never come true.

That has to be the cutest story I've read. I even emailed the story (not your link) to some of my friends from work and they thought it was so cute! Xander is a worker ain't he! :-)
That's great! I told Brooke about it last night, and she suggested that maybe had read "the book." There's some book that Oprah had talked about where if you just believe enough in something, it'll come true. We think our little dog read it, b/c she has an uncanny way of standing in the kitchen and staring....and eventually, she gets scraps thrown to her, no matter how strong your resolve is. I think "the book" is called "The Secret" or something like that.
He's just following your footsteps. Persistence
Definitely sounds like school assembly motivational speech making. They forgot to add the "don't push your luck with Mom" part. Xander, you crack me up! I love how he "coaches" the twins, too. HAHA! Uncle Brad
