This morning, Theo came into our bedroom with his pillow pet and his kanket and asked to get in bed with us.  I love these rare snuggles from my almost three year old boy so of course I obliged.  We were stretching our arms upward in the morning light and comparing the sizes of our hands.

Me:  Your hands are getting big.  One day they will be bigger than mommy’s.  Did you know that?
Theo:  Uh huh! But I don’t have a ring on like you and daddy.
Me:  That’s true.  Do you know why?
Theo: Why?
Me:  Because you’re not married.  Do you think you’ll grow up and marry a girl someday?
Theo: I don’t know.
{The future grandmother in} Me:  Then you can have lots of babies!
Theo:  You know what I’m gonna do when I get bigger?
Me:  What?
Theo:  Reach up in the cabinet and get my own snack and shut the door!
Me: Oh! Well, yes you will be able to do that when you get bigger.  What else?
Theo: Get the remote and turn on the t.v. and watch a movie!  And when I get big again, I’m gonna poop in the potty!

Hopefully not in that order.
