Not Really But Really

Caleb is starting to realize that he can have conflicting emotions about a particular experience. Tonight I asked him if he liked Vacation Bible School (he's gone the past two evenings). He said, "Not really, but really." I asked him what parts he liked. He said, "I like outside at the park, crafts, and snack. I no like church." They had a bit of a long-winded opening and closing ceremony in the church that wasn't really geared toward a toddler's attention span. I was so proud of him for being able to identify and vocalizing these conflicting feelings.
