Coffee Please

Today Grant and I went to the mall to look at Christmas decorations. Grant's favorite things (next to vacuums) are Christmas trees. After we looked at all the trees we went to the food court for lunch. After ordering I turned to Grant and asked him what he wanted to drink, fully expecting him to say water. Instead he looked at me with a totally straight face and said, "coffee." I turned to the man to pay and get a couple of waters and then looked over to see why Mr.Chatterbox was so quiet. He had taken the handiwipes and was meticulously wiping down the counter of the restaurant stand.When we were done eating Grant turned to me and said, "thank you for paying for my food, mommy." He is just too precious. Everyday I am so thankful for how healthy he is and how much joy he brings to our lives.

Shannon and Jim,
You should be very proud of your parenting: you have taught your son to be clean and polite.

As for the "coffee" comment, that took me back to when Kathryn was 3 and ordered linguine with red clam sauce in a restaurant. We had never talked about that dish, nor had she ever ordered for herself until then. Who knows what gets in their heads sometimes?

Wishing Grant a great birthday next week,
Janet
