HER: When I was a little girl after having my hair cut, I developed the idea that people might think I look like a boy. And today, my son, Sebastian confirmed the idea that I may have boy features.... (People always say that kids say the tuth...)
SEBASTIAN: Mommy! I would like to have Goblin's toe nails!!!
VANESSA: Goblin's toe nails?
SEBASTIAN: YEAH!!! They wear blue toe nails.
VANESSA: ... ...
*looks at Frank*
FRANK: Sebastian, you have boy nails just like me, because we are boys! :D
SEBASTIAN: YEAH! Boy nails. What colour are your nails mom?
*looking at Vanessa's painted toe nails*
VANESSA: They are colored.
FRANK: Mommy has girl toe nails, and we have boy toe nails.
SEBASTIAN: YEAH, my mom has girl toe nails. I have boy toe nails and boy finger nails, just like yours Frank.
*looking at Vanessa's UNpainted finger nails*
And my mom has boy fingers too!
HIM: It was a funny thing to suddenly hear Sebastian talk about painted toe nails. Now, I can't imagine anyone EVER thinking Vanessa has boy features, but even at the age of 3 Sebastian obviously constructs his world logically:
If boys do not have painted toe nails,
and girls do have painted toe nails.
Then boys should not have painted finger nails,
and girls should have painted finger nails.
Thus a girl with unpainted finger nails has boy fingers.
Such a sharp kid... You can feel how his mind quickly processes the information around him and synthesizes appropriate perspective based off of it. Vanessa has every reason to be extremely proud of him and of the job she's done raising him. It makes me so happy to be a part of their little family... =)

Vanessa with boy features... okaaay...
I wonder what got him talking about Goblins? Do you think he got the blue-toenail thing from watching World of Warcraft (where Goblins are all painted up)? Or maybe a movie?
Vanessa does NOT have boy features. :)
And there's no telling where Sebastian came up with goblins. lol
