I got to Monkey’s pre-school today in time to see him lying on his nap-mat gnawing on his shirt with his boots on the floor and his feet in the air. This mom = proud! Monkey catches sight of me, and the grin that splits his face leaves me in a sloppy puddle of mommy goo in the doorway.
I grin at his teacher, Mrs. L (whom I A-DORE with a capital UH) and she says:
“Monkey, tell momma where you went today”
Monkey: “I went to yunch and I eated my pineapples and my capwee sun and my fwooot woll up”
Mrs. L: “Monkey, where else did you GO today?”
Monkey: “I went to wee-cess and then I yayed down...”
Mrs L. (rolling her eyes and suppressing a laugh): “Monkey, did you do a Big Boy thing today?”
Me: {catching on finally} “MONKEY! Did you go potty on the toilet like a big boy?”
Him: {lighting up like a 50 million candle-powered spotlight} “YES, Momma! I a big boy on da Potty!”
Me: “I’m SO Proud of YOU! You’re such a big boy!!!”
I picked him up, hugged him and gave him a big kiss.
He looks at me, grabs my face in his two chubby hands and says:
“Momma, I’m so proud of YOU”
what a sweetie! (and yay!)

Sniffle. That’s so cute. Aren’t they just darlin’ at that age? Unfortunately they grow up to be big hairy teenagers. Snort.

Cute, cute, cute. I understand the “goo” statement so well. I feel like my little guy “melts” me at least once a day! He just turned two in June so we are starting the potty training stuff. Might be asking for some advice!
