Need a shower? No thank you!

So I wake my 3 year old at 1am to go potty.  We are trying to not use the night time pull ups.  He walks into the bath room I help to guide him since I only have a night light on.  He pulls his pants down and faces me NOT the toilet.  I realize he is still asleep and spin him around. Whoa! Crisis diverted...

Raising a little man

Nolan:  Mommy will you lay with me a few minutes

Me: sure Buddy

Nolan: No Mommy not like that(me laying next to him).  You have to rest your head right here(pointing at his chest) then I can rub your head and we can snuggle.

Me: aww this is comfy Nolan

Nolan: (poking my nose with his little finger) I know silly willy let me hold you Mommy.

In that moment everything was right in the  world for me.  I know in my heart he will be a good man one day.

The Mommy Diaries...

Just when I think my 3yr old does not retain the the talks I give him.

Nolan: Mommy I got to hold the door 

(two ladies walking through the door)

Nolan: I got it Mommy

Me: aww Nolan your such a gentleman

Nolan: is that respect Mommy?

Me: yes it is Nolan yes it is
