The expert

Nathan has been voicing some expert opinions lately. In the past few weeks he has told me that he needs to take 5 vitamins (yummy ones) because the bottle says so. He also told me that the doctor told him he needs to eat all the jello so his body doesn't feel sick. Sometimes he cites these outside sources such as package labels and authority figures like his doctors or teachers, but he is also developing his own expert voice. Today he told me that usually kids like 2 ketchup dots on their plates because when they need more... they need more. Well, it sounds like he's done his research among other kids and I'm not surprised with the findings this time.
