Yesterday morning at breakfast I asked my almost 4 year old a question. He answered the way I expected him to, so I told him- I thought you might say that. I know you pretty well.

“How do you know me, mommy?” He asked.

Because I’ve studied you.

“What does studied mean?”

It means I’ve learned all about you. I’ve been studying you since you were born. I know what you enjoy doing and who you like to play with and what foods you like to eat and I know your favorite color, what makes you happy, and what makes you sad, I know when you’re tired, hungry, excited. I’ve studied you.

To which he replied, “Well I’ve studied you too mommy.”

You have? What is one thing you know about me?

And then my baby boy turned a normal Wednesday morning into one of the greatest moments of my life when he matter-of-factly said through a mouth full of toast and fruit,

“That you love me so much.”

I didn’t  give my 13 month old the cracker he was “asking” for, so he pushed a chair over to the counter, climbed up, and helped himself to it.

Two of our main objectives as parents- teaching problem solving and self-reliance- on full display.

And as for his incognito style…he has his brother to thank for that.

I love this age.

To my sweet Baby Boy.

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you”
Birds singing in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
