I have to say, maybe it's with spring around the corner,
but I'm finding my boys to be particularly delicious these days.
Eavesdropping to find them hugging and Andrew telling Charlie "there are no scary monsters."
The expressions Andrew uses like "I'd be delighted."
Last week Andrew was with me when I had to run to the mall to buy some make-up.
A: " Mom why do you need to buy make up?"
Me: " Because I'm all out."
A: " No, I mean why do you even wear it in the first place? I think you look prettier without."
Me: " Aww. That's sweet, babe. Are you only saying that because you are my son?"
A: " Maybe, maybe not."
Ok, is that honesty not the sweetest??!! :)

ReplyDeleteThat last little conversation melted my heart. What a sweet boy!
Oh wow. We have even more in common, both being experts on Star Wars and hurricanes. We were destined to meet Tessa, lol. That is so sweet about the make-up. My 12 year old still wonders why I wear it & says he doesn't see the difference. Not sure if that is good or bad :)
