Saying goodbye in the morning has turned into a 10 minute production with Beckett. It goes something like this:
Me: Okay, I have to go now. I'll see you guys later. Have a good day!
Beckett: Love you, bye, mommy.
Me: Love you, bye!
Beckett: And, have a good day!
Me: Okay, I will buddy!
Beckett: And, don't forget to teach your third graders today!
Me: Okay, I won't! See you later! *walks outside*
Beckett: *opens front door and yells* But, Mommy, don't forget to drive the cool new car because it's yours!
Me: I won't! Bye, buddy!
Beckett: And, Mommy, if you are thirsty, have a drink of water!
Me: Okay, Beckett. I have to go now.
Beckett: Okay, bye! *waves hand frantically*
Me: *waves back and hops in car as fast as possible so that he doesn't say anything else*
That is like our bed time routine. It has been condensed to Izzy saying very fast, "I love you, have a good sleep, I will miss you, see you in the morning, don't let the bed bugs get you, love you, goodnight." While I keep repeating, "you too, you too, you too, you too.
ReplyDelete"And Mommy, send Daddy in!" And it all repeats itself.
