Just had to take a minute to post the latest Sethism before it escapes me. As background, Seth has taken a recent fascination with a book entitled God's Wisdom for Little Boys. As I was putting him to bed tonight he asked "Am I grow up to be a wise man?" What could I say but "Yes, you will, darling. . . I'm sure you will."
Its moments like those that you just can't plan -- priceless moments that come and go out of nowhere like a surprise kiss from God. They are the kind of moments born out of our newfound quantity time, the best kind of quality time there is.
Other samplings from the day:
"Um, Mommy.. I was wondering.. did you ever want a different baby? And Mommy said never ever ever ever ever." (Apparently recited from a book I once read to him, many moons ago, before he started talking, entitled "God Gave Us You".. guess that line made an impression?)
"Um, Mommy.. how 'bout you keep the light in the tent?" (said to mommy tonight, during a camp-out in the living room, after i momentarily shined the flashlight out of the tent, interrupting the book he was "reading.")
Now I know why they call them bundles of joy.
See yesterday's post below for more samplings of the comedy that is my life as Seth's mom.
