A conversation with Grant

As always I am in a rush to get me and 2 kids ready for school. Most days, we are able to get ready in shifts. Parker has to be at school at 8 am so Brandon takes her, they try to leave by 7:30 but no later than 7:40 to drop off in car line. Once I get Parker ready, I work on me, then I wake up Grant and get him ready.

Yesterday morning, Grant woke up earlier than usual and he was fussing at me from his crib. I walk in his room and remind him, there's no need to fuss at Mommy, if you want me, just say my name. I tell him to 'call me' and I will come, he thinks this is hilarious. I remember a similar conversation with Parker at that age. Anyway, Grant is usually soaking wet in the mornings because even the night time diapers are not enough for him. So I take off his PJ's and diaper before getting him out of the bed and let him run to our room sans clothes. Sometimes he even sits on the potty, we have had a few accidental successes! After I put a new diaper and his clothes on for the day. He holds my finger and pulls me into the den:

GH: Down! (as in sit down)
Me: Mommy doesn't have time right now, we have to get ready for school, we are going to miss breakfast (as I walk away to put a load of clothes in the dryer-always the multi-tasker)
GH: All-white (translation alright)

I thought I would die laughing. He was so serious about it and used it in context. Enjoy the laugh.
