snuggles with my big boy

Last week Derek and I went to a workshop on getting your kids ready for kindergarden, most of it was common sense but one thing that stuck out in my head was start talking to your kids now. I thought ya we talk but I never ask him how is day is and to be honest whenever i pick him up from nursery school i say what did you do today...he says nothing. So they suggested telling them about your day, so i've began doing that and boy does it ever work, it seems like he just keeps talking and well i love it. Snuggles and chatting :) But one thing is how do i explain my job....i work at a mental health centre and am i food service supervisor. So i tell him i work at a hospital and he says are people sick there, well yes i said. Then he says are they picking...um no not usually. Are they bleeding...um not usually. Well mommy whats wrong with them? Um um um.....jezzz how do you explain this. I said they are sick but you can't see it, so i think i've totally got him screwed up now. If anyone has any suggestions how to explain it HELP! And i don't expect him to get the food supervisor part at all because most people think i'm a dietician, so well this was such a useless post but I just thought how do people talk about difficult things with there kids, like even illness or death? Thats my rant for tonight...heading to bed and hopefully get to sleep in...no work tomorrow...yahhish!!! Love Brittaney
