Me: What do you want for lunch, AJ?
AJ: A sandwich please.
Me: Ok. What kind of sandwich?
AJ: Peanut butter.
Me: Just peanut butter?
AJ: No… How bout peanut butter, cheese and mayo.
Me: I’m not sure all those things would taste good together in a sandwich…
AJ: You’re right. Maybe put it on toast instead.

AJ: Mommy, where is that egg piece?
Me: What egg piece?
AJ: That purple egg piece.
Me: You mean that lone half of plastic egg that’s been haunting me since Easter?

That moment when your potty training toddler zips past you and slams the bathroom door in an effort to “go all by himself.”
Waiting nervously on the other side as you try to give him his space.
That moment when you open the door to find him standing in the DARK, beaming proudly. “I did it all by myself, Mommy!” You realize the stool he’s standing on is 2 feet away from the the potty…
Sometimes, there’s just not enough Lysol.

Me: “It’s time to wake up, AJ.” I rub his back. “Wake up, sleepy head.”

He lays back down on his pillow. “Not all done.”
