What's Next?

Motherhood is an going adventure and one that provides many positive and challenging experiences along the way. Just when I think that I've got a handle on things, something else changes. I often find myself wondering, what's next.

You're Married?!!

For about a year, Jake and Abi (his "girlfriend" from preschool) made a promise to get married when they turn five. According to Jake, they were going to get married at preschool with all of their friends and teachers present to witness the joyous occasion... except me. I was not invited. Isn't he a little young to already have issues with his mother?

One day while picking her up from preschool, Abi's mom overheard the young couple talking and Jake said " I can't marry you anymore because I'm gonna marry my mama," Wow. I went from not being invited to the wedding to being the bride.  I was flattered. Must be the new moisturizer I'm using.

This afternoon I was looking through some photos and stumbled across some from my wedding. (8 years ago in November aggh!) Jake has seen our wedding pictures before so I shared it with him. Thinking that he would say that I looked like a princess (because he's said that before and uh, ya, I did look like a princess thankyouverymuch) I was surprised, yet amused by his reaction. He took the picture from my hand, his eyes as wide as saucers, looked at me, looked back at the picture and finally exclaimed, "You're married?!!".  It was as if a light bulb had just gone off in his head and he had just discovered a deep dark secret that I was keeping from him.

I explained that I married Daddy. He leaned on the bed, threw his head back and in disgust said, " fine".  I asked, 'is this because you wanted to marry me?" He shook his  head yes. I couldn't help but smile and just give him a big hug. Let's hope he always thinks this highly of me...at least I'll have a shot at getting invited to his real wedding.

Absolutely adorable!

You might want to throw in the no-kissing-other-girls-except-mommy clause and see how long you can run with that too...

Get the video camera and capture these way too cute moments on film for viewing when Jake is 16 or 17...  He'll LOVE it.
