Selfies

This week Tate has been full of one liners. I can't believe how fast he is growing up. 

"Once upon a time... hmm... just a second the story is loading...."

"Who turned on the black?" -driving to Nauvoo at 5:30 am

"Mommy I don't see any people, they must be inside doing beautiful things or watching Thomas."

And he told his friend who is a girl he loved her, she returned the sentiment, and they giggled the rest of the moment away. 

Upon exiting the bathroom after a lesson on not wasting toilet paper and water Tate exclaimed, "Daddy just taught me all sorts of things!" We'll have to see if they one sticks. 

 This is my first successful selfie with both of my boys in it in focus.

The older Tate gets, the more I realize how hard it is to let someone grow up and be their own little "self". Occasionally I find myself struggling between dictator and walked all over. The best moments in my daily shenanigans center on these boys and I'm so grateful for all they teach me, even when it is something about myself they recorded and played back just for me.
