This is a continuation of what happened to the drawing from my last post. I love his backwards flag but my mommy sixth-sense knew that he wouldn't like it printed that way. So I was going to bring it up really casually. This is what happened this morning:
Me: Guess what D? I scanned in your drawing.
D: You did?
Me: Yes and I want to show you something. (as I lift the drawing up to show D).
D: Oooohhh noooo!
Me: What?
D: Noooo!
Me: What's wrong? (knowing he'd already figured it out)
D: The flag is backwards! (as shoulders slump)
Me: You're right, but don't worry we can fix it without you having to redraw it.
D: How?
I then showed him the scan in Photoshop and in a couple of minutes the flagged was flipped. My sweet boy is a happy camper now.
Speaking of sweet this is a small story about how my D charms his way around here (not always mind you!). He's the one that tucks me in at times (
remember?) and he recently did something that we would've had no idea about unless our little C would've told us. We were sitting around the table at breakfast...
C: D woke me up this morning with a kiss. (husband and I just stare at her in mid-bite and D looks embarrassed).
Me: He did?
C: Yes. (with a grin on her face)
Me: Where did he kiss you?
C: she points to her forehead (just were we do it to wake the kids up).
Me: Aww that was really sweet.
C: After he kissed me, he said he was going to play on the computer and he wanted to know if I wanted to play with him.
LOL. A sweet kiss with strings attached. He woke her up because he wanted someone to play with.
Another conversation I just remembered. Last one I promise. We were in the car...
Me: D, guess what R told me?
D: What?
Me: She said you're a very handsome boy.
D: Really? Wait. Say that again.
Me: R said you're a very handsome boy.
D: Awww shucks. (pause) I always wanted to say that.
