Tonight Vincent was being particularly whiny about wanting this or that. Bill was trying to keep him from pestering me. Finally Vincent settled on asking to go to the park- asking over and over until Daddy said, "In the morning when Mommy gets you up you can ask her nicely, 'May I please go to the park?' and she will take you."

(I actually had other plans but immediately starting thinking about which park we could visit along the way.)

Vincent perked up in his seat and leaned forward to get my attention.

"Mommy?"

"Yes, Vincent?"

"Mommy, you look GREAT!""

And he sat back in his chair with a satisfied grin.



I'm sure he'll ask me to go to the park in the morning. I'm not sure I'll look "great" at 7am. My little boy is growing up fast- he's already figured women out.

UPDATE: As expected he woke up and greeted me with "Mommy, you look great!" then he upped the ante by asking"Let's go to the store and buy TOYS!"
