Lately my youngest son has been talking more than normal. Or maybe I've been listening more than normal. Either way, there's been a lot of talking going on.
David is 5. I know that because he tells everyone that when they see him.
I wanted to give you a glimpse into the world of David. This is a conversation I had with him just this morning. When you read this, stand on your tiptoes, wander around the room, and talk really really fast:
David: Mommy, the B says buh as in ball and bat. Can I have an apple? Cause I really like apples.
Me: Sure, Dav...
David: Can I have some marshmallows too? They are all different colors, are they? The S says ssss as in snake and sun. A, B, C, D, - Mommy, do you like marshmallows?
Me: Well, David, I gue...
David: Mommy, can I play a vieo game today? (d missing on purpose) Can I watch cartoons? Mommy, are you almost done with my apple? Can you put it in a bowl, Mommy? Are you listening, Mommy?
Me: Yes, David. I'm listening. Here is your apple.
David: Can I have some chocolatey chocolate milk? It tastes really, really good, does it? Mommy, I can't carry all these things. Will you put the marshmallows in a different bowl? First I pick up the chocolatey chocolate milk, then the apple, then the marshmallows. Carefully, carefully carry my stuff. I got it, Mommy. Thank you, Mommy.
Me: Sure, David.
Now, David is gone before he hears me say anything to him. I think he's gone on to play, but then he comes back.
David: I haven't had any love from you this day, Mommy. (big hug and kiss from my amazing 5-year-old). I love you, Mommy.
Me: I love you too, David.
