Ok, I know I owe you some pictures, but that's going to take a while. In the meantime, I'm going to give you a sample conversation with John, so you can see what every day is like for me. I have enjoyed every age with John, but as he grows, I swear each new stage is my favorite. But I promise you, the stories and conversations and imagination HAVE to make this my favorite. Here's how the convo went down...
A: Did you play outside today at school? (Note: it has rained every school day for the past 2 weeks, it seems.)
J: mm-hmm
A: Who did you play with?
J: Trace
A: What did y'all do? (Expecting to hear "swing... slide... play chase")
J: Hunt for food.
A: (thinking this is strange) What food did you hunt for?
J: Aspen and Alyssa
A: (nearly chokes on Kool-aid) Do what?
J: (in a "duh, mom!" sort of tone) We were T-Rexes!
Later, Rob replayed this same conversation, but took it further.
R: So, which food did you eat? Aspen or Alyssa?
J: Alyssa
R: What did you do when you caught her?
J: (grins sheepishly) Hug her.
So the girl-crazy twitterpating has begun. The thing is, Alyssa is the same girl-obsession from last year. At least he doesn't have commitment issues!
Thanks for sharing this story...incredibly cute! You just made my day!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with boys and dinosaurs? Garrett wants to eat everyone too!
ReplyDeleteAw, he's got a little crush! ;) At least he hugged her instead of biting or attacking her like a real dinosaur! He must really like her!
ReplyDeleteI also thought it was cute that you were drinking Kool-Aid. ;)
ReplyDeleteAlyssa and John sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!! Sounds like John is going to be like his daddy. That just sounds like something Rob would do when he was a kid. :)
