Getting to Know You

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

Duke wouldn't sleep last night.  Wasn't tired, I guess.  Lord knows it happens to me (alot lately).  I went in to talk to him for a bit.  He kept asking so politely "Mommy, please come in. Open the door Mommy.  You can come in.  Please Mommy." and as Darrell said, he'll only be this age once and soon probably won'twant much to do with me.  So I went in and we sat in the rocking chair.  What can I say, I caved.  I wanted to be loved by that little boy for a moment and to enjoy it, selfish as it was.  He wanted to answer me
(earlier I had been asking him a question which he kept responding 'yes' to, which was not an appropriate answer.  I would tell him 'that's not an answer' and he would dissovle into giggles)
so I tried to think of some questions.  I learned a lot about him, though I'm sure most answers would be different today.
