Today Emily called and said she was taking a bath when Conner came in to talk with her. She said she could tell right away he was in the mood for some "story telling".
He said "Mom, our other dad was sure a nice guy wasn't he?" Emily asked him "What other dad, we only have one dad?" Conner replied "Well, our other dad was a real nice guy before he died" Emily asked "What was our other dads name?" from this question Emily found out that he was thinking his grandpa Alan Harren was his first dad, that he died and then Chris took over the role of being dad. Emily took some time and tryed to explain to him how the family chain works. He listened intently figuring out in his head that Chris was indeed his only dad - and that at one time this man named Alan was his dads dad. Wow, this little guy is a thinker, trying to get all these details straight in his head. And entertaining his mom at the same time.
After much talking, questions and answers evolving into wonderful stories, Emily's bath water was getting cold. She stood up and said "Can you get me a towel Conner, Mommie is getting cold". Well his eyes about dropped out of his head as she stood up and he said...
"Wow mom you have a wet butt, your butt is pretty wet!! Your butt is pretty pretty mom, oh your butt is pretty big, we are going to need a pretty big towel for your pretty, pretty big, pretty wet butt!!"
If Emily wasn't so cold these stories could have gotten even better...
But instead she took the pretty big towel and wiped her pretty, pretty wet, pretty big butt and put on her pj's.
Good night Conner!
Good night pretty momma!
