Overheard.....

Little Man, as he climbed into my lap: "I just want to cozy up."

Son C when his sister came in the room all dressed up for the dance last Saturday: "Now that's an interesting specimen!"

Little Man, as he was praying at bedtime the other night: "And thank you for mommy. She's my best girl." (awwwwww! I LOVE this age!!!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have been discussing with C the possibility of him playing soccer this spring. He has loved watching his older sibs play, and he loves to play soccer in the yard. But he has been a bit undecided about joining a "real" team. The deadline was drawing near and he needed to make a decision. I had a serious conversation with him about the commitment he would be making.

Me: "If you realize that you don't like it, you won't have to play another season, but you'll have to stick it out for this season until the end. We won't let you quit. You are making a promise to the coach and to the other players that you will show up and always do your best, even if you're having a bad day."

Son L to son C: "It's really fun, it's not as bad as mommy makes it sound."

That is so hilarious! Such a boy thing to say about a girl at that age. Before things go all haywire. She looked gorgeous. Wish we had something like that here. Maybe I'll have to look into starting something like that at our church.
