Luke: Mommy, I really like going to school for a full day-but-I missed playing with Oliver.

Conversations with Luke and Oliver

I explained in my last post that Luke has become a bit long winded (which I love), it is just hard to jot down our long conversations.  My youngest son Oliver is now two years old and is starting to grasp the conversation thing…mostly to say the opposite of his brother or to prove his independence and ability to do things himself.  Yesterday Luke and I had a couple conversations about school and Oliver joined in the last one.

Me: Are you nervous about starting kindergarten?

Luke: I am not nervous about starting kindergarten.  What makes me nervous is having to start high school someday.

Later that day:

Luke: Mommy, I don't think I want to go to college.

Me: Why not?

Luke: Because I don't want to move out.

Oliver: Me move out.  Me go cowwege (college).

Luke: Oliver I don't want you to go to college either.  I don't want you to move out.  I want things to stay the same way as they are now.

Oliver: (laughs) No me move out.

Luke: (crosses his arms) No Oliver.  No!

Luke is growing up.

I haven't shared any conversations in a long time.  It isn't that he doesn't say things that tickle my heart anymore, because he does all the time.  Our conversations have grown and he amazes me with the things he says.  Yesterday he talked about gravity and that there is no gravity in space and that is why astronauts float…..and it went on and on.  They are no longer short and sweet explanations and so it makes it harder to jot them down.  I may eventually change the blog to include my second son, once he talks a little more or maybe I can give in and write his in depth explanations….hmmm decisions.
