He is Five Now...

Ya'll, this is it. My son is an absolute mess every.single.day. I can't make this stuff up. I mumbled something about needing a bottomless mug of coffee one day and he didn't hear the coffee part (that I so desperately must have) apparently. He asked, "what is a bottomless mug, is that a person who has a fat and furry bottom?"

I should really put this on my Memoirs of a Four Year Old post, even though he is now five.

Anyway, this look is what I get anytime I tell him to do something that is not on his agenda. He basically pulls out his day planner each morning just to let me know what's on the schedge.

You look big

I should have already written this, it happened last week. I was wearing a dress that Isaiah noticed and he said, "Mommy, you look big in that dress." "I do?" I started checking myself of course and he immediately followed it up with, "Long, you look long." Oh, you mean tall? He said yes. Then about five minutes later (he is already learning to think fast) he said, "Mommy, when I said you looked big earlier, I was not saying you are fat. I was saying you were tall." Apparently the kid has been paying attention. Perceptive.

The best moments

And then there are those days where he does something so completely sweet that I remember why I want to keep him...forever. He picks flowers every time he sees them just for me. He colors the perfect picture and says, "Mommy, I made this just for you." He always wraps presents for me from around the house and he tells me that he is gonna love me forever, always be my little boy.  Some days, he tells me he is gonna live here forever too or that when he moves out, he says he will live right here in our neighborhood so he can see me every day. He asks me to lay down next to him and talk about everything under the moon at during bedtime songs and prayers. He has my heart.

In case you're wondering, this is what the face of trouble looks like.

Oh the absurdities

My sweet child says the darnedest things. Today he said to his sister, "Naava, you know I love you girl but you're crazy."

Later while play with a toy pot, he placed it on his head and said.. Hmm, pot-head. 

A bit after that as he and Naava were playing with some things and sticking them on their heads, it apparently was not working because he said, "We have head problems."

I can't make this stuff up. Love the kid.
