It also happened to be my Grandpa's 86th birthday celebration this weekend. Thankfully, Lute got over his runny nose for the most part in time for the party, but sadly, the littlest munchkins were not in a partying mood. Nick was kind enough to stay home with them so that Lute and I could enjoy the festivities.
All ready to go, gifts in hand, I told Lute it was time to head to the car.
"Okay, Mama," he said. He stopped mid-stride, looked at Eddie in all seriousness and said, "Sorry, Eddie, but just me and Mama get to go." Eddie laughed and shouted, "Bye bye!", unfazed.

"What's that, bud?"
"You know, Mama, it's just me and you!"
"It sure is, Lute," I laughed and squeezed his hand.
Later that night I wrote what happened in my sadly neglected journal. It was a moment to treasure. I know he won't always be so infatuated with me, but I am gonna take it while I can get it.
I LOVE this. Also, I'm watching bravo right now...
ReplyDeleteWell, this made me cry. And, I've been infatuated with you for almost 33 years...so I'm sure he will be too!
ReplyDeletePopped in from SITS! He sounds like such a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteOne on one time is priceless! my grandmother is 86. Happy birthday to your grnadpa. Thanks for stopping by on my special SITS day. :)
ReplyDeleteSO cute! And that picture made me smile. Your story reminded me of the time my niece, who was 3 at the time, was sitting around the table with me, my mom, and her mom (my sister). She looked around at the three of us and asked, "Isn't this cozy?" It was SO cute!
ReplyDeleteAwww! Reading this makes me want to go wake up my oldest and squeeze him. But I know better :P
ReplyDeleteI love that age when they want mom all to themself. My 4 year old boy likes to have 'dates' with mom too.
