Things to Remember

 Simon:  Soon I will give you your last hug as a three-year-old.

Me: And then hugs will be done?

Rest assured, those hugs aren't done and he still remembers almost every single morning to give me a monkey hug in which he wraps both his arms and legs tightly around me.  I especially love when he gives me one fresh from bed and he is still rosy-cheeked and toasty warm.

Simon:  Why can't I go wrap bales with Dad and Matthew?

Dave:  Because I can only handle one child around heavy machinery.

Me:  Maybe we will go to the park tomorrow.

Mathew:  The park?!

Simon:  Matthew, she can only handle one child at the park.

Touche.

Simon:  Did you have a good sleep?

Me:  I did but what would you do if I hadn't?

Simon:  I would give you a monkey hug.

Issac singing Amen super low and out of tune at mass and then whispering to me, "I really like the bass part."  Except bass rhymes with ass.

Simon:  Sneezes.  "I think I have a cold.  You'd better not come near me!"

Upon entering the Staples store:  This is gorgeous!  It's so neat and tidy!  Imagine if we lived here!

Often heard from Simon at the ned of any trip:  Thsi was a busy day.  I want to go home.  I like peaceful days when I can play at home.
