I have to share a sweet conversation I had with Boston yesterday. He approached me in the afternoon and said, "Mommy, I have figured out what I want to be when I grow up!" Curious (as last week he said he wanted to be an adult when he grew up) I said, "Oh, what would that be, Buddy?" and he replied, "Santa's elf! His top elf so I can ride in the sleigh with him". "That's great, what a good job that would be!" I said. He paused for a minute, thinking, and then said, "How can I practice being an elf for when I grow up?" So, seizing this perfect opportunity, I replied, "Well, you can start by helping a lot more around the house... Santa's elves are super helpers!" The rest of the day I couldn't stop the boy from cleaning up and doing jobs around the house. I've really got to seize more moments like those!!!
