Conversations With Sawyer

It's so incredibly dark and stormy here today. We're catching what's left of Super Typhoon Melor after it hit Japan last week, and boy, it's still a doozy of a storm - tons and tons of rain along with heavy sustained 30 mph winds w/ gusts of up to 50 mph. The interstate is flooded (much like my backyard!), and people in a large part of the Sacramento area have been without power for over six hours now. Fortunately we haven't lost power...yet...but the lights have been flickering off and on all day long.

I picked up Sawyer from school, but since Sutton was still napping at 3:30, Mitch is going to pick him up later. I always love these little snippets of the day where I get to spend some one-on-one time with my boys. Sawyer & I were enjoying an afterschool snack when this conversation left me laughing my head off:

Me: "Sawyer, I need to run upstairs and switch the laundry for a minute. Are you going to be okay watching Rescue Rangers down here by yourself or do you want to come upstairs with me?"

Saw: "I'm just going to stay here, Mom. I'll be fine. [dramatic breath and pause] If you want to go ahead and clean up my room while you're up there, that would be just fine too."

Ha ha ha...nice try, kiddo! That mess is alllllll yours! Three-year-olds seriously crack me up.

At least he's not telling you that he wants a baby sister and that you should go buy one at Target.
