Like every stay-at-home mom, some days I could be happy running off to work outside the home. But then I would miss conversations like this:
Sitting outside with Avery, 4, enjoying the spring day
Avery: “Mom, can I have some of your apple?”
Me: “Sure”
A: “I’m going to let the ants eat it.”
M: “You are?”
A: “Yeah, cuz I’m an expert. Mackenzie (best friend, also 4) and I are experts. I’m an expert on ants. Ants like to eat apples… and cake… and… all food! They eat all the food all up. Yep. That’s what they do. See? I told you I was an expert on ants.”
yep…those are the conversations that make me glad i’m “working” at home!
