Before anything, I want to share something I think most of us mom’s can relate to. Mommy Guilt. No? Read this to be sure. Oh, The Places You’ll Go: Mom’s & Guilt Trips
1.) Why did you do it?
He made me. It’s always his fault.
2.) What is a common misconception about you?
That it was my fault. But, see #1.
3.) Describe a moment when you felt afraid.
There was this one time, I thought it was my fault. But then I realized it wasn’t. See #1.
4.) In what ways are you turning into your mother?
Oh, I’m not. You see, because sometimes it is her fault, and…well, again, I direct you back to #1.
5.) Are you always right?
Yes. Always. And when I’m not, then once more…read #1… {Are you seeing a pattern develop here?}
Annnnnd, just in case you haven’t been entertained enough, I’m going to let my sweet son take it away.
Just some funny Taylor stuff…
Getting out of the car in the rain…
T: “Mom, I’m cold.”
Me: “Well, get out of the car and hurry into the house where you will be warm.
T: “And then will I be as warm as God?”
After watching Pinocchio several times with his Nana & Papa…
Me: Taylor, go to the bathroom. You’re doing the potty dance.”
T: (holding his part) I don’t have to go.
Me: Tay, you’re not telling the truth. Please go.
T: Is not telling the truth a lie?
Me: Yes.
T: (Quite concerned…) Then will my nose grow?
Me: (Slowly figuring out what’s going on, and loving that I’m about to have some power!) Totally…Just like Pinocchio.
T: (Flies to the bathroom faster then I can say, “just kidding.” Cause I promise, I was just about to…but then I forgot.)
This story has many examples, as I really began to love that I could get him to do things by simply suggesting that his nose could grow. I know, I know, it’s brilliant. I’m such a great mom. I really should be nominated for mother of the year.
{Update, Jimmy found out I was doing this and then made me tell him I was just kidding. He’s so not fun.}
Randomly one day:
T: Mommy. Girls are honey’s and men are boys.
Playing with his bestie, Izabel:
T: Don’t be scared, Izabel. I have big muscles.
Izabel: {big sigh} I know…
Sitting on the couch snuggling:
T: Mom, you know what’s special about you?
Me: What’s that?
T: That you’re always my friend.
Aweeeee.
