Chayse my full time worry wart.
WHEN WILL YOU MAKE ME LEAVE HOME?????
(I only want to take one thing with me)
Chayse approached me in the bathroom this morning and asked me "what age will I be an adult ? "
I replied "when you are 18"
"Ohh" he said "so I'II have to leave home by then and get my own home won't I. Well how long away is 18 ? Sascha won't be very old then will she?"
"No silly " I said. "you can stay here as long as you like love" We're not going to kick you out. You'll just want to go one day and find your own house. (well let me get through the teenage years first then we'll re-evaluate that comment)
"Mmm Hmmm" he said still looking down.
"Well who gets to take the dog with them when they go?"
Aahh now this conversation is beginning to make sense...... See I told you she has control of him!!!!!!
I had to say "well maybe you'll all have your own dog by then" (no way known I'm having more than one dog at a time) "and you can all take one each with you."
Please please please let children forget everything we say as I really didn't mean that. it's just to keep him happy.
I can't ever imagine an empty, quiet house again. I don't suppose it ever really will be.

I dread the thought of all my babies leaving!! and yes please don't let them remember all the things we say LOL.
Oh you will never guess what my youngest Samuel just came & asked me while typing this!!!! "Mummy do I have to leave home when I turn 18????????" and his little face was so sad :(
I have have had this same conversation with Molly before. It's funny how they worry about it when they are little. Cute.
Aww. It's great how much he loves his dog.
lol, kristen, (one day) you are going to look up and find that you have 4 boys, their 4 wives, and 5 dogs (including sascha, of course)co-habitating with you:D

Ahh the thinking man ... preparing, thinking about the future and planning.
The random things that pop into a child's head never cease to amaze. So precious.
My dream is to build a big compound so if my kids ever decide to move they can just live next door!I'm not letting any further away than that.
I had a similar conversation with my 8 year old last night. He was laying in bed with me, Daddy was at a dinner Mtg. Sam says that he wants six kids when he grows up and gets married. The thought of my children growing up and leaving is so sad, but I know it's what we all want for our children. When I read your blog I can feel the love you have for your boys. There's something about a boy and his Mom.
