Modern Family

As Dan & I were cuddled up on the couch this afternoon, unwinding and clinging to the last few minutes we had before the next wave of late afternoon commotion began, Ben declared:

"Okay, here's the game: Mama, you're the babysitter. And Daddy, you are her grandson. I will be the garbage man, and Ella is a hunter-girl. Okay? OKAY EVERYONE?"

Sometimes I can hardly wait to see what this kid is going to be when he grows up.  Or, even better, who he'll marry. His future wife better excel at 1) listening and 2) being bossed around.

I love you, little Bug.
