At 4 years old Michael says...
ausoly for also
last year for anything that was yesterday, last night, the other day or anytime in the past.

begetable for vegetable,
One night recently, I called him my sweet pea and he said "Mama, I'm not a "begetable", I'm a people!"
Michael and I had a great conversation last night. Right before we drifted off to sleep he asked me "When I get older Mom, will you marry me?" I said. "But, Michael I'm already married and you're my son, I can't marry you." All my explanations were answered with "but why?". He finally stated with authority "When I get older you will marry me, Mama".
My sweet, innocent, little boy I love you.

Ahhhhh, so, so sweet that little guy! I'm so glad you are documenting his words. They just grow up so fast.....
ReplyDeleteI see the new babe is going to make his appearance soon, thinking about you a lot!
Lisa :)
It's great that you wrote down his special words...wonderful memories to look back on as he grows older...
ReplyDeleteI love it! Reminded me of a couple of "Zephyrisms," like "when I was two..." is what he says for anything that happened in the past. Also, my facebook status update is asking if anyone else's sons seemed as Oedipal as mine! I like hearing that other sons want to marry their mothers and mine isn't just warped!
ReplyDeleteYes, he is a sweety and I am so glad I finally wrote these things down. Especially before little guy makes his entrance and I'm in the baby daze.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, Nora. Your son is normal. My friend Mara also got a marriage proposal from her son when he was this age. It's just too cute!
Oh so sweet. I love when they figure the love and marriage saga. If only it were that simple...hehehe.
ReplyDeleteMy little man always says he will marry me too, when i explain that will not be able to happen he the wants to marry his sister. When there is that much love it can only be a good thing right!

This just made my heart melt. I wish I would have written down things my daughter said. You just think you're going to remember it all, cuz it's just so sweet. But then time sweeps you along and fills you up with the new. I guess all those sweet-isms are still there, though, because when you wrote about it, I remembered. Thanks, Becca.
ReplyDeleteLove is love at this age. Absolutely Amber, it can only be a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI know, Jenell, so many "sweet-isms" get lost, but then again not lost really. Even if those things are consciously forgotten they still create a rich loving bond with your child and I believe that means they're cemented within your relationship forever. What a beautiful thing! And that thought makes me feel like it's not such a tragedy when "sweet-isms" go unrecorded.
What a ramble!
Becca, you're right about the important part being the bond. Thanks for the ramble, mamma.
