Hello, my little lovelies!

I will be posting later tonight because I was busy this weekend (surprising, huh?) and also I just work better late at night (hence why I post mostly late at night or early morning).

Sorry for the delay, but here's that little smidge of an update!

Things my kid cried about today:

- that he was only going to get half an hour of gym time instead of a full hour. He was actually getting an hour and a half but try to reason with a gym-crazed six year old

- dinosaurs being dead and having never gotten to meet them. Same, dude, same. I had to get down on my knees in the parking lot to hug this one out.

- when I jokingly said that if he sassed me again I would send him back to where he came from. My mom said that to me ALL THE TIME and I always laughed about it, but apparently I horrified my kid with the thought that I would ever do anything mean to him.

- when I tried to remedy the aforementioned scenario by stating that if I ever did anything mean to him I would feel so bad that I’d throw myself straight into a volcano (throwing people in volcanos is an inside family joke, this did not come out of nowhere). The idea of me being hurt was enough to cause another down on my knees hug it out cry sesh.

Anyway, I’m not saying this to mock him. I think it’s sweet that he feels so strongly about things that adults have grown to find silly. It IS sad that dinosaurs died before we got to meet him, but my friend is a paleontologist so we’ll get to meet the fossils of some of them. And there’s a dinosaur wrestling group out here that I can take him to go see. Not exactly scientifically accurate, but fun. And I’m touched by the fact that, even though I have lost my temper with him plenty of times, he still cries at the thought of me being mean to him. He’s a sweet little dude with a big heart. I’m lucky to be the one that gets to take care of that big heart.
