It's never boring...

Excerpts from my bedtime chat with Toby tonight:


Me: When we get to San Diego one of Aunt Nikki's friends is going to be there too. Her name is Mary.

T: Is she Jesus's mommy?

Me: No, this is a different Mary.

T: Oh. [singing] Mary had a baby, yes Lord. Mary had a baby, yes my Lord...

***************

Me: OK, enough talking. It's time to sleep. Nigh night. I love you very much.

T: Do you love me more than Rosie?

Me: No, I don't love one of you more than the other but I love you for different reasons.

T: Why do you love Rosie?

Me: Because she's my baby girl and she has a lot of personality in her little body and she can be silly and funny and sweet and kind and she has nice squishy legs.

T: Why do you love me?

Me: Because you're my baby boy and you're nice to talk to and you have lots of imagination and you're good at drawing and math and you can be really funny and sweet and helpful with Rosie and you have the cutest little bottom.

T: Hmmm. And what's the name of that new planet they found?

Me: I think Chiara but I'll have to check that.

T: OK, night night.

Ten seconds later he was snoring.

[NOTE: The new planet is actually called Sedna. I'll let Tobes know in the morning.]
