Not that there's anything wrong with that... (Seinfeld reference)

Everyone keeps telling me there is nothing to worry about, but some things are just really disturbing, even if there is nothing to worry about.

A week or so ago, Matthew was watching a video in our bedroom. At one point, he was standing on our bed, spinning around and saying "I'm a ballerina". I kept correcting him that he was NOT any such thing, but he kept insisting that he was a ballerina, all the while twirling himself around. In the words of Leon Phelps, things like that disturb the Ladies Man. What in the world are they teaching him at daycare? Especially the daycare at a Southern Baptist church. He sure didn't pick that up at home.

Well, the next day, Shelly mentioned it to the teacher at the daycare. Apparently all of the little girls are going through the ballerina phase, where they twirl around and say that they are ballerinas. They grab onto the little boys and twirl them around while talking about being ballerinas. Well, this is starting to make sense. At least it's not something that he came up with on his own.

Fast forward to Saturday afternoon. Shelly was putting Matthew down for his nap. Even though we are potty training now, he still wears a pull-up or diaper for naps and overnight. Well, when Shelly was putting the pull-up on him, he was trying to put his underwear on his head. Typical guy thing, right? So, like a good mother, she helped him put the drawers on his head. And then the party was over. With the drawers on his head, he said "I'm Cinderella". Shelly got it on video.

Yep, I'm definitely going to have to have a LONG chat with my boy.

Oh, and Seinfeld... I'm afraid I tend to disagree.
