Late Night Chats with Daddy

Every night Daddy spends a few moments talking to each boy as he tucks them in. A couple of nights ago he had a great conversation with them that I just had to post about. First of all, you should know that recently they got the 1979 animated version of "The Lion,the Witch, and the Wardrobe", which they absolutely LOVE. Now, the boys are all about playing the roles of whatever story they are currently most interested in. So Luke and Daddy were discussing who in our family was each of the characters in the movie. Luke was saying he didn't want to be Edmund, that he wanted to be Peter. So Daddy said he didn't want to be Edmund either. Luke decided that Daddy should be Aslan. Then Joshua pipes in and says, "No, I think Daddy should be the Professor. Is that okay, Daddy?" Daddy agreed, to Joshua's delight because, not surprisingly, Joshua wanted to be Aslan. They decided that I should be Susan and Mercy should be Lucy. Then Daddy asked Micah if he wanted to be Edmund and he was like, sure, whatever. Then as Daddy and the two older boys continued talking, Micah must have thought about it and apparently changed his mind. He piped up and said, "Daddy, I don't want to be Edmund! Can I be Mickey Mouse instead?" After much giggling, Daddy said, "Sure, Micah, you can be Mickey Mouse."

Don't you love 2 year olds? I sure love mine!
