Today while playing in Elijah's room, I pulled him close and said, "Elijah, I can't believe you're going to be three years old in a couple days! I don't want you to have a birthday and grow up. I want you to stay my baby forever." At this Elijah got a little upset. With a stern look on his face and using his disapproving voice he said, "I have to grow up big like Daddy and Mommy." "But why?" I asked. "What do you need to grow up and do?"
"I have to grow up so I can do the laundry and clean the dishes and build big block towers!"
Who says stay at home moms don't have real jobs? Of all the superheroes, action figures and movie characters, my kid wants to grow up to be like me.
And build big block towers.
