I am very fortunate to have a little boy who is, at five, still a really great snuggler. Yesterday we were snuggling on the couch together when he looked up at me with his big blue eyes and said sweetly, “I love you, Mommy.”
My heart melted. “I love you too, baby boy.” I said. “And I love being your mommy. It’s my favorite thing to be.”
He beamed up at me.
“What’s your favorite thing to be?” I asked him. I could already hear his response. “Your baby boy!” he’d say sweetly.
He thought for a second, then smiled his sweet mama’s boy smile.
“A bus driver!”
*Sigh*. A girl just can’t compete with public transit these days.
Boys!
Ah! The lure of the open road!
so funny!
HEY – BE GLAD HE DIDN’T SAY -BALLERINA OR HAIR DESIGNER!
HE IS A JOY!
Being a bus driver is pretty cool.
That is so adorable! At least you can be happy for raising a free thinker instead of just telling you what you want to hear!
Is there anything greater than a 5 year old? Unless maybe a 4 year old ! Enjoy those snuggles (and laughs) And please keep sharing them with those of us who no longer have anyone that wonderful age living with us.
Jenny, that is so sweet!!!! My heart just melted a little and then laughed out loud at his answer!
It’s perfect
Get him a couple of Mo Willem’s pigeon books — he will LOVE the bus driver!
too funny!
Cute!
