Cole and I had a few quiet moments in the car today, just the two of us, and this is the conversation that ensued.
Cole: (sigh) "I can't wait to grow up. I'm bored with being a boy."
Me: "Oh, but I don't want you to grow up too fast. I like you being a boy."
Cole: "But why, Mom? Because it's hard work. If I was grown up, I could do things for myself, and you wouldn't have to take care of me."
Me: "Well, I know, but taking care of you is like a blessing, a special gift that I've been given, and I know that someday I will miss making your sandwich and tucking you in at night."
Pause.
Cole: "Oh, well, you can still make my LUNCH!"

About Me
- our little acorns
- Bellingham, WA, United States
- I love beach houses and farmer's markets, a warm bed in a cold room, being surprised with a Starbucks coffee, rain outside my window, acting as queen to my six silly boys, delighting in my daughter's belly laugh, learning the fear of the Lord, peanut m&m's after the kids are in bed and making my husband proud. I don't love shoes left on the landing, cooking on the weekend, hot summer nights, being the center of attention or fair-weather friends. This is my own private therapy. Welcome.
