vocabulary

i know every parent thinks their child is brilliant.  we all do it.  when k can put puzzles together that i thought were beyond her, when she knows the words to a song after hearing it once or twice, when she can dress herself in the mornings... i always think to myself, "k you are so smart!"  but again, we all do it.

the other night when we were all in the car, husband was talking to k and asking questions about the book she was reading.  it was her princess book, one of those books with all the buttons you can push as you read.  they were talking about beauty and the beast. 

k started telling husband all about belle, the beast, and gaston.  then she said it:

gaston is conceited

what?  did we just hear her right?  did she use the word conceited?

now, this might sound as conceited as gaston, but husband leaned over to me and said, "how cool is it that our 3 year old has the vocabulary of a 5th grader."  call him gaston!
