memories, Homer stories

Facebook Memory from Aug 4, 2015, which makes Homer 4 years old when I wrote this:



Lately when I ask Homer a question..

"Hey Homer can you please hand me that?"

"Yes, my lady!"

Or sometimes he says, "Yes my darling!"

Then the other night we were watching Toy Story 3 and talked about growing up. (He didn't know why Andy's mom was crying.) We told him he'll grow up and move out one day too and then Joe added "and Mommy will probably cry a lot." Homer said, "When I grow up, I don't want to be a daddy."

"Why?" we asked.

"I want to be a *mommy* so that I can drive!"

We laughed and explained that Daddy *can* drive, he just doesn't drive this car very much, because he wants us to have the car so we can go places during the day.

So that was a few days ago. Then today, Homer said to me, "I don't want to grow up. Because I love you."

I said "Oh Homer we'll always love each other no matter what, no matter how old either of us gets."

He said, "But Mommy the reason I don't want to grow up is I don't want you to cry!"
(And cry is pronounced with a "w" : cwhy :) )

I love those super sweet moments! I told him I'll cry a lot in life, because it's just how I am. I'll cry when I'm sad but also when I'm happy and the times I'm super proud of him too. And told him he could just hug me when I cry and that'll always help. He said "okay!" all cheerfully and sounded reassured.

I love this little guy.
