Sweet & Sour

We experience daily conversations with Grayson that would totally crack you up, but last night included two nearly back-to-back dialogues that were worth sharing.

Michael came home with a cold and low-grade fever (which he likely picked up from his son over the weekend) and was suggled up on the couch at 7:30 p.m. By about 7:45 p.m. he was starting to snooze so Grayson and I got daddy up to relocate to his bed.

Grayson enjoyed being the one to tuck someone in and it went a little something like this...

Me: Michael, you need to move to the bed before you completely fall asleep. Grayson, do you want to help me tuck daddy in?

Gray: Come on daddy, it's time for bed.

Once Michael was in bed, Grayson enjoyed covering him up and then sang him Jesus Loves the Little Children of the World (one of Gray's nightly requests). Then he asked daddy, "Do you want my Lightening McQueen (aka Gray's prized possession)?"

How thoughtful and sweet is that? Then a short while later Gray needed to go potty. I went into the bathroom with him to help unbutton his jeans and when he sat on the potty he looked up and said, "Mommy, I need some privacy."

I was stunned into silence and didn't know what to say, but then Gray added, "Can you shut the door please, Mommy?"

Seriously? This kid can't even undo his own pants and he wants privacy?
