Conversations with 2-year-old Milo, who has very big feelings and very important thoughts..
Driving in the car, and Blink 182 “Home Is Such A Lonely Place” is on.
Milo: I like this song. Its beautiful
Me: You like it? What makes it beautiful?
Milo: The singer.
Me: What else?
Milo: Everything!
Lunch time, and he’s in his high chair while I cut his cheese quesadilla into pieces.
Milo: Mommy, cut it into SQUARES.
5 seconds later..
Milo: Mommy, those look like RECTANGLES.
Me: I’m trying my best!
Milo, shrugs his shoulders: It’s ok mommy. Some look like squares and some look like rectangles. It depends..
Driving in the car, and I texted multiple people via voice in the phone.
Milo: “You should be done talking to Siri. You was talking to her for a looooong time!”
Watching him swim at Emler swim lessons:
Milo: You want to see me hold my breath?
Me: Yes!
Milo: Ok. I’ll see what I can do
6 pm, in the final hour before bedtime, as we’re playing upstairs. I’m laying on the carpet in his room watching him run around like a crazy man.
Milo: “Mommy! You should jump on the bed too, but this time you don’t get tired.”
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! It’s a 3-day weekend for Indigenous People’s Day, so we’re hanging out as a fam all weekend. I’ll chat with you here on Tuesday!
PS: 4 words that have changed my parenting perspective, and sweet baby Dayton at 8 months!
