Geneial Conference and other things This morning while I was in the shower, Sloan opened the door and said in a strong voice, "Mommy, I'm very angry at YOU!" When Sloan decides to be mad at me, I can't help but laugh. Sometimes he tells me I'm not his friend anymore. My response is usually "ok" and then he immediately feels bad and says "Actually, you are my friend" It never lasts. That kid. He loves me so much. He needs to know where I am all the time. If I'm sitting on the couch, he makes sure he's snuggled right next to me and he lays a warm chubby hand or foot on my arm or leg. If I'm making dinner, he climbs up onto the counter and tries to help me. If I'm going for a run, he has to make sure that he hugs me fiercely and gives me a kiss. If I wait too long to leave after he does this, I have to do it again, and he always watches me go and waves from the window. Sometimes he's waiting there for me when I get back.
Adriel calls General Conference Geneial conference. He can't say general He has been looking forward to it all week, asking me how many days are left and things. Why? Because we make dough boys for conference. I had no idea food would make the event so exciting for him, but I'm glad we have traditions that he looks forward to.
The other day, I went to pick Adriel up from school. We had to wait until Alexa, one of the little girls I take care of was done her preschool, so we had some time to play outside at the school. Usually I just sit on the bench and do my own thing while he plays tag with his friends. This time he wanted to talk to me. We talked about songs. He asked me if the songs were real or pretend. I asked him what he meant. He said "like is the guy really in love with a girl?" and I said yes. He thought that was sort of strange. So I told him a long time ago I fell in love with Daddy. And he said, "You loved each other so much that you wanted to get married?" "Yes" He thought for a second and then said quietly "I wish I could marry you...I guess I'll marry Gabriella"
"Gabriella?"
"yeah"
"Why Gabriella?"
"Cause, I like her...and I think she's pretty"
"What about Mikayla?"
"Mikayla? She's my girlfriend, I can't marry her"
Ha ha, alright then. My kids make me laugh.
