On our way to school this morning we passed a lady walking her dog. I casually mentioned to the kids to look at the puppy or "puppa" as Bugs so loving refers to all dogs. Little did I know that this canine observation would begin one of my all time favorite conversations with Bubs...seriously people, this one will be in the memory bank for a while.
Me: "Hey guys, look at the puppy!"
Bugs: "Puppa! Puppa!"
Bubs: "Mommy, I want a puppy."
Me: "You do?"
Bubs: "Yes, not a big puppy, a small one that doesn't run around my house."
Me: "Ok.."
Bubs: "Please Mommy! I'll let Chloe pet him. Not on the head, on the back. And I'll take good care of him. I'll feed him...Mommy, do we have puppy food?"
Me: "No Buddy, we don't."
Bubs: "Ok, then we need to go to the pet store. And when he needs to go potty, I'll take him for a walk to the park. We need to get a leash at the store too. And, when it's time to go to the gym, I'll tell him he can't go but that I'll be back soon. And when it's time to go to bed, I'll tell him he needs to go to sleep. And he'll go to sleep. Please Mommy, Please!!"
Me: "Well, we need to talk to Daddy about it."
Bubs: "Call him now Mommy, call him..."
OH EM GEE!! Does that not make your heart melt? Seriously, I considered running to the closest shelter to find a small puppy for my little man!
Also, just to add to the cuteness...here is a pic of Bubs celebrating Dr. Seuss' Birthday.
