hey mom. . .

for those of you with preschool age children. . .this is probably a common refrain in your home. . .

"hey mom - may I have a snack?"

"hey mom - I have to go to the potty."

"hey mom - can you set up my geo trax?"

"hey mom . . ."
"hey mom . . ."
"hey mom . . . "

I wish I had the stamina to count how many times Owen says "hey mom" in a 24-hour period. . .sometimes John and I just start laughing because we've heard it so many times.

I remember when Ryan went through this phase. . .and then I didn't know it was a phase and would pass. . .now I know that all too soon - I will miss hearing "hey mom. . ."  but for now, I'm thinking of changing my name. . .

catch you soon -
