I need to write some of these memorable moments down before I forget them (not too difficult when you're Mama G.)
I don't expect everyone to be rolling on the floor with my natural storytelling gift as alot of these gems are the "you had to be there" variety.
Here goes...
*
On our way to bed and ticking off the bedtime routine checks, we brush our teeth and then its time to make a wee.
"I don't want to wee, I don't need a wee, ...see??" He opens his pants and shows me his "empty" boy bits.
Thanks, dear, we can all sleep safe tonight.
*
In the car and on our way to school I commiserate on his sniffy snotty nose and the thick snorting he was doing.
His answer was "I not snotty! I a pig!" accompanied with more snorting and suitably exaggerated piggy noises.
People passing me must have wondered what I was laughing so much about.
*
Tucking the Boy up in bed and handing him his bedtime bottle he notices a fresh new teat on it (yes, I buckled and prolonged the bottle weaning project). He studies it for a second and then explains to me - as if I'm a bit dim - that "I not a baby, ... I Lukey S!"
{To avoid confusion at school all the Lukes in his daycare are addressed with the first letter of their last names. I might need to change his name to Lukey G. And it seems we chose a popular name 3 years ago.}
*
Collecting him from school, Aunty Laura informs me the Boy was beating up on some of his fellow
(so there.)
The Boy has kahunas, even I'm scared of Aunty Laura.
*
Driving along scenic Boyes Drive on our merry way to somewhere, the Boy is looking out the window and in a most jolly expression exclaims "We're all going to die! We're going to die!" The Husband and I exchange mildly perturbed sidelong looks and shrug it off as hopefully misunderstanding our doomsday progeny.
Since then I have come to understand that he considers falling as dying I think. His imagination must have been getting the better of him as we flew along the high mountain pass, pretending we were going to go over the edge, all with a grin and a twinkle in his blue eyes...
*
In benevolent moments I call the Boy my angel or my darling.
And in petulant moments he answers with " I not an angel!" or "I not a darling!"
Yes, I will probably be reminded of that fact in years to come... and maybe even a little sooner.
No doubt there will be more amusing anecdotes (to me anyhow) to follow.
Watch this space.
