We're in the veggie section of Publix, Logan stops and points...
L: Can I touch that?
Me: What?
L: That. The pretend food.
Me: Logan, none of this is pretend food. It's all real. What is it you're talking about?
L: The peppers (the big baskets full of fresh bell peppers were next to us)
Me: oh, haha, yeah those are peppers and they are definitely real and ready to be eaten.
L: Can I have one?
I usually don't do spur of the moment requests from Logan in the grocery store (mostly because they are the Cheetos and Oreos type of requests) but hey if my kid is flat out ASKING to eat a bell pepper, by all means lets give it a go...
Me: Sure, what color do you want?
L: The yellow one.
He held that big ol' yellow pepper throughout the whole store, saved it for last to put on the conveyor belt, fished it out of the plastic bag and held it the entire ride home. When we got home, he put it on the counter next to the sink, so I sliced it up and put it in a bowl with some ranch.
Well. He hated it. But he gave it a good shot. And the second best part? My usual non-veggie eater, Blake, happened to love it! Who knew.
Up in his room this afternoon, Logan fixed the broken part on one of his race tracks all by himself.
L: I fixed it all by myself!
Me: Yup, you're such a big kid! You didn't even need my help!
L: But I still need your help for a lot of things, Mama.
Me: Don't worry buddy, I'll be around to help you whenever you need it. I love you.
L: I love you too, you're my little man.
Hahahaha. I almost died from the cuteness. We always call him our little man, so he must think of that as a term of endearment for everyone ;)
The cruise was so much fun, we had such a great time!! I even survived without talking to the kids for a few days :) even though our cruise activities were not what I would call "relaxing" per say - we did tons of talking, eating, drinking, some dancing, and having a blast! - I still felt so refreshed after a few days off from "real life." Since I've been back, I've heard tons of I love yous, I missed yous, and You're coming too, right Mama?s. Pretty cute. I can't wait til the next girls cruise! :)
