Jake and Danny were recently invited to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. The night before the party Danny tactfully explained to me in his best three year old enunciation: Mom, you know how some Mommy’s bring us, then leave, and then they come back later to get kids when it’s over….?
Me: (dumbfounded) Wait, are you saying you don’t want me to come to the party? You just want me to drop you guys off then come back and get you?
Danny: (smiling, looking a little shame faced) Yeah – that’s why it’s a KIDS ONLY party!
And so, it starts. Soon I’ll be instructed to drop them off a block away from school, to please not talk to their friends, and above all else – to avoid any physical contact or affection… 😥 When did my babies get so big?
Right now both boys demand a kiss from me anytime we say goodbye or goodnight. And not just any kiss – first they give me a kiss on the lips, then one on the cheek, and then they blow me a kiss as I leave. I’m wondering how much longer I have till they wise up and realize that actually, Mom is not cool, and is not the love of their lives…
*Sigh* My days are numbered. So much for mama’s boys.
