Mummy's lying on the bed in a dark room not feeling real well...
Lion comes in and stands beside the bed and rests his elbows on it...
I suddenly notice how tall he's gotten....
MMcT: You're getting so grown up, what'll I do with you? Give you a cuddle?
Lion: climbing up - yes, and maybe a kiss as well. (isn't he just a darling?)
MMcT: Oh, Lion, I don't want you to grow up.
Lion: very earnest - I do want to grow up and be a big grown up boy...
So I can use knives...
Really. Really. Sharp. Knives...
OKAY, glad we have that sorted.
Disclaimer: Wolf took that photo, I thought it was a terrible idea, it gave me the heebie jeebies just knowing what was going on.
Wow! The things that go through a kid's mind are just SCARY sometimes!!!
ReplyDeleteLion is a crack up...and a sweetheart. Maybe he's going to be a chef when he grows up. He looks REALLY happy almost giddy in that pic. hehe
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better.
Much love from NJ,
Sue xoxo
Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. I hope his hug and kiss made you feel much much better! Well, maybe it did til you learned about his dream of knives. YIKES IS RIGHT! LOL
ReplyDeleteI know I'm colour blind (deficient), but even I can see that his hair is a different colour - or did you fiddle with the photo?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry - a love of knives only means he wants to be a butcher when he grows up!!! I loved guns when I was his age (I always wanted to be a Vet).
Oh my. He does look pleased with himself. Our 5 yo is a big fan of knives too. And yet the 7 yo has no interest. Once I got over my incredible fear of him using the knives, he cuts up the carrots very nicely for dinner most nights.
ReplyDeleteSo - next time Lion doesn't want to get his photo taken we just give him a knife or two and he will cooperate and get that delightful gleam in his eye. . .
ReplyDelete@ Dragonlady... yep I'm considering it... :)
ReplyDeleteBoys are so fun! Sweetness and cuddles and really big knives.
ReplyDeleteSorry Mummys not well.
