From the mouths of babes

So the other day I was talking to my 4 year old and asked him what he was planning on getting me for my birthday. He thought for a minute and said he didn't know. I told him I just wanted a big hug and kiss on my birthday. He looked at me and said "mom I don't think I will have time to do that. My watch says there isn't time to do that." Since when does a 4 year old not have time for anything? Then a few days before we were all outside and he was looking for us in the house. When Bryan came in he told him "I would prefer that you didn't leave me in here alone." Prefer? I didn't even know he knew that word, maybe he doesn't.

Ty had a car toddler bed that is so cute but we upgraded the boys to twin beds a couple of weeks ago so I put the car bed in the basement. The boys have been playing in it a lot lately and yesterday I was in my sewing room and looked into the living room to see Blake "driving" the "boat" (car bed) and Ty had a long string coming off the back. He yelled at Blake to "go! " and stood up holding the string then feel over like he crashed. I laughed so hard, it was too cute! He said he didn't want me to watch him and closed my door. A future water-skier I guess! Those are the sort of things that make being a mom so much fun.
