Just Do It

Today has been a funny day and my kids have kept me laughing for most of it.

Tonight when I was making dinner, Dawson fell asleep on the couch. I called his name a couple of times to let him know it was dinner time, but nothing. He was out. Until...the magical ice cream truck song started to play through our open front door. I am not kidding, all of sudden Dawson popped up and says, "I'm awake! Wait ice cream truck!" It was so cute!

After dinner we had Colton's first football game. It was a little sad because he can't play with his broken arm for the first three games, but I was proud of him for still wanting to go and cheer his team on. When the game was over, we were heading to Cold Stone for dessert.

Colton: "What's a crush?"
Me: "It's when you like someone more than just as a friend. When you grow up your crush will become love."
Colton: "Oh, well _____ says he has a crush on _____. I think I have a crush on _____ too."
Me: "You do?"
Colton: "Yeah. I think I am just going to let my crush grow for a while and then when I am a teenager we will just do it."
Me: swallowing hard..."Do what, honey?"
Colton: "Get married."
Me: "Oh. Well you might want to wait until you are a little older than that."

Oh my gosh! I thought I was going to be having the talk right then and there! So now I am breathing a sigh of relief, relaxing and trying to prep myself for when the real talk comes.
