I want to be 10...

So, Jayden has been talking for weeks about how he wants to be ten, because one day he wanted to stay home while I went to the grocery store, and I told him he had to be ten to stay home alone.

So on the way home last night, here's how our conversation went.

J:  "Mama, me want to be ten."

Me: "Oh really?  Well, how many more birthdays do you need until you are ten?"

J: Counts on his fingers; shows three fingers, then counts the remaining fingers: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.  7 birthdays and me be ten!"

Me: "What are you going to do when you turn ten?"

J: "Um, me go to to the movies!"

Me: "Oh, what movie are you going to see?'

J: "Team Umizoomi!"

Me: "Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun!  Can I come?"

J: "No, me go all myself!"



My heart broke a little.  My three year old can't wait to grow up!
