…orange wednesday…

driving in the car.

and totally unprovoked manoah asks, “mom, what do you want to be when you grow up?”

i reply, “well, maybe a counselor. what do you want to be when you grow up?”

manoah, “i want to be a gardener.”

fast forward 2 hours.

while manoah is watering the plants he says, “mom come over here so i can water you. and you can grow & become a counselor.”

really!?! who is this kid!

(samuel always. ALWAYS. has a running nose. always.)

Christina McLennan - Aww what a precious little boy! I am so glad that you have written about this so now you can save and cherish this memory forever. You know, I started to notice the whole snot thing.. after your first Orange Wednesday I thought to myself, man in every picture of Sam, he seems to have snot coming out of every single one of his orificies. And since then I have been oddly drawn to each picture of him to see if he does. Its like a game. :)May 26, 2010 - 10:25 am
