The cats
A conversation at bedtime...
Luke: “When we move, are Sugar and Spice going to stay here?”
Mom: “No Luke, if we move, we will take the cats with us.”
Luke: “But what if somebody else wants them?”
Mom: “Well that’s too bad, they are our cats and we’d like to keep them.”
Luke: “hmmm”
Mom: “What if someone else wants you? Does that mean we’d leave you here too?”
Luke: “Don’t worry mom. I’ll just dance like a dinosaur and then they won’t want me”
Mom" "Can you show me how dinosaurs dance?"
Luke then got up and danced and roared!

Helpful big brother
On the way home from daycare, Drew had been acting up and I was waiting for an apology. As we neared the house, this conversation took place:
Mom: “Drew, do you have anything you want to say to Mom?”
Drew: “No.”
Luke: (whispering) “Drew, say ‘sorry’. Tell Mom you are sorry. Drew. Say sorry. Drew. Drew. Tell Mom you are sorry”
Drew: silent
Luke: “Mom, do you know what I said to Drew?”
Mom: “What?”
Luke: “I told him that I loved him”
Mom: “Drew, do you have anything you want to say to Mom?”
Drew: “No.”
Luke: (whispering) “Drew, say ‘sorry’. Tell Mom you are sorry. Drew. Say sorry. Drew. Drew. Tell Mom you are sorry”
Drew: silent
Luke: “Mom, do you know what I said to Drew?”
Mom: “What?”
Luke: “I told him that I loved him”

The wedding
Luke and his bestest friend ever, Katelyn, have regularly talked about getting married for months.
Today, they decided, was a good day.
At lunch, they told their teachers at daycare that they wanted to get married. The teachers suggested they wait until after quiet/nap time (thinking they would forget about it).
After quiet time, Katelyn made herself a flower boquet. She then dressed up in a princess dress, in preparation to marry my son. Another girl was upset because she wanted to marry Luke, so Katelyn let her be a bridesmaid and gave her the flowers to carry down the isle (my boy has good taste!)
And then, while sporting a stylish clown hat, my son became a husband at the young age of 4.
And of course, the formal ceremony was followed by their first dance.
Luke was very proud of his new bride. I told him that I was proud of his choice, but that I would have liked to have been invited to his special day.
His response: "Don't worry Mom, it was just pretend. You can come when we really get married."
