He says hi to everybody in the grocery store (and they know both boys by name). He has sweet little conversations with his friend, Jamiya. At her birthday party, he said, "Happy Birthday, Jamiya....I mean, Princess."
But, he's the worst with me.
These days he says things like this to me:
After eating breakfast: "Mama, you are the best chef ever."
After hearing somebody say something (anything about marriage): "Mama, I'm gonna marry you when I grow up!"
After seeing me in a dress for church, "Wow, mama, you look like a princess."
I mean, really, really? Is he really supposed to say these sweet and charming things? Is this why there are so many "mama's boys" in the world? Heaven, please help us all. I am clearly charmed.
And, I might add, his little brother is figuring out how to charm the world as we speak. He's not super duper affectionate, but every once in a while he will kiss me for no reason and say, "I love you, mama." Just when I'm basking in the moment, I'll say..."What, Reese? Wait, repeat it...what did you say?" And, of course, he's leaves to jump off the couch. He's also very quick to say, "Bless you, mama," whenever he hears me sneeze. I know...wrapped around the finger...and spoiled rotten because I thought he was our last child...I take full responsibility.
My cup runneth over.
precious. and I can just hear you saying, "what? wait a minute?" I totally read that post in my Carmen-impression voice!!
