Last night Toby was all amped up about meeting Mary and Ken and would not go to sleep, would not be quiet and kept whining for me to lay with him. At times like these, if I am even 2% sleepy and not in the middle of something, I will just tell him to get his crap and get in mommy's bed. This way I stand to get some sleep... not balanced on the edge of his twin size bed that is. Oh, and the reason I am on the very edge is because of his "guys" (aka his stuffed friends).
So when he comes to my bed, I tell him to bring TWO guys. This turns into a negotiation fest where I keep saying two and he says three, four, and all of these... all of these works out to about 8 which once they are carefully bedded down next to him, puts me right back balancing on the edge of my QUEEN SIZE bed. Only advantage is when one of them kicks me in the night, on the floor they go!
Well last night all the guys and Toby and mommy were snuggled down for a long winter nap and Toby picks up this stuffed Piglet. Piglet and Curious George were mommy's and date back probably 15 years. But he loves them way more than I did since I just shoved them in a box in my closet so I let him have them. So here is last night's conversation.
Toby: Come here Piglet (to the stuffed friend). Piglet is my favorite. (to mommy)
Mommy: Uhh huh baby. That's nice.
Toby: Piglet is the best of the guys. He's pink.
Mommy: (who has snapped her eyes open now) He's the best because he is pink?!?!
Toby: Yes (as he lovingly cuddles Piglet and rubs his tummy). He's so pink and pretty and he is the best of them all.
Mommy: siiiigh!
Take that Josiah! You may love purple (which is somewhat acceptable for a boy) but my little man loves PINK!
