He said What?

Funny things kids say- Tristan Style:

Tristan has been having a rough couple of weeks with me leaving him in the mornings. Often times I hear “please don’t go to work Mommy, stay home with me..” Or a variation of that theme. Its actually quite heartbreaking, makes me think about our choices and quite honestly gives my heart a tug. Again believing that Tristan is now our last child( last round of infertility treatments didn’t work so we are done “trying”) I am wrapping my brain around this whole thing so the mommy guilt is in full force.

Yesterday on our way to do some shopping Tristan was lamenting the fact that he now wanted STAR WARS guys. Hes in a constant state of jealousy over Elijiahs and we said that perhaps Santa could bring him some Star War figures. As anyone with a 3 year old knows….its a repetitive convo along with the one about me not working. So finally Jonathan said…well Tristan “ Mommy has to work if you want your Star War figures. To which he promptly changed his tune about me staying home with him and said….”Okay. You can keep working mommy so you can buy my Star War figures.”  WHAT the???


Ah the fickle nature of children.
