It's only logical

Max is almost completely out of all toddler like activities these days. He is potty trained, but not accident free. He is mostly reasonable, but still can throw a wallop of a fit, albeit less frequently. Suddenly he protects his two year old little cousin rather than fight with her. Next month my baby will be four, and I love how our conversations go these days, even though sometimes I don't come out on top.

Me to Max: Max can you hold the dustpan for Nonnie like you do for mommy?

Max: No, I only do that for my mommy.

Me:
Max, remember Nonnie is my mommy, so it is okay, almost just like doing it for your mommy.

Max: You do it for her then, she's your mommy.

I took him clothes shopping with me the other night. Without big brother to wrestle with, he was quite helpful and sat nicely on the bench in the changing room while I tried a few clothes on. First outfit a pant suit, he made sure I was putting it on correctly, Does that shirt get tucked in mom? When I explained it stayed out, he exclaimed, It is beautiful mommy! After trying on a dress, he proudly said Mom that looks like a wedding dress, you are pretty. But the winner, was when I tried on a sparkly red and black shirt and he yelled excitedly Mommy you look like a rock star! I bought the shirt and wore it to the Symphony the next night, and every time someone complimented it, I had to tell them about my personal shopper.

Yep, it's always best to buy the ones that make you look like a rock star. He did a good job!

That settles it. I can't wait to go shopping with my boy when he gets older. I want someone to tell me I look like a rock star! What a sweet boy.

Oh that conversation was a hoot! Kids, never know what will come out of their mouths. Don't you just wish you could carry around a tape recorder or a video camera sometimes? At least documenting it here will keep it safe and for looking back on.

First time here, got here by way of...oh heck, I think I just forgot.

Anyways, I wanted to say hi!

I have a Zachary myself, he is soon to be 6. The best days are the ones where he tells me that I am so beautiful and noone elses mom would ever be as pretty as me.

Boys are the best aren't they?

Yeah, but what's a rock star to a little kid? Miley Cyrus? Brittany Spears? Barney? :)

I am so glad that you share that wonderMAN with me. He does love his Mommy, he tells me that all the time. He is showing his age 4 maturity, but still is our little boy.
Love TIA
