So lately, I have been a huge slacker by sleeping in on these lazy summer days. Well, the past couple of days our cute number 4 has been coming in to visit me. On Tuesday, he came in and layed down with me - tossed and turned for a while then he said, "Mom, I am going to get us some 'water with ice'!!!"(that is his most favorite thing) - I said , "Okay, Bub, you do that." Hoping he would go downstairs and forget about me-- I sent him on his merry way. A minute later he comes back carrying two cups of 'water with ice'. "Here you go Mommy," he says. I say 'thank you' and take a drink. He gets up and leaves. Thinking, he is done with me... I lay there a little longer. A couple of minutes later, he is back... he climbs up on the bed, puts a 'fiber one' bar on my chest and says, "Mommy, I got you some breakfast, now can I have my breakfast?'' I turn and look at this sweet boy and happily go downstairs to share a bowl of cereal (thats what he wanted) with my favorite 4 year old!!! How sweet is that???... So sweet,..... I let the next days' encounter roll off my chest. The next day.... he comes in again.... he lays down with me... we are talking about nothing... I turn over and look at him and he says with surprise, "Mommy, you look HORRIBLE!" I start laughing and promptly say "Thanks, Bub!!" and I get up to get him breakfast!!! Either way.... on both days I got up with a smile on my face!!! Later that same day he says, "Mom, why did I have to get a baby sister?" I tell him that Heavenly Father wanted his little sister to be a part of our family and that we all love her. Not convinced that is a good enough reason, he says, "Well, I don't want her-- she screams at me!" "Can't she be a part of a different family?" I tell him that he is stuck with her and that some day he will like her. He quickly and in a 'matter of fact' way, replies, "No I won't." I just laughed and thought how much I need to write down these funny things he says!!! He cracks me up!! What a cutie!!!
