My son is enamored with me lately. I’ve heard other moms talk about this, but I never gave it much thought. Until Saturday.
I was sitting at the computer trying to catch up on a few things. My husband was asleep on the couch behind me. And 5 year old Sam climbed into my lap. He has a knack for commanding my attention when he decides he wants it. 
He leaned back and stared into my eyes. “Mama”, he asked, “How do you get married?”
“Well,” I replied, “You have to ask a girl to marry you first. Then you go to the church and have a wedding.”
Before I had a chance to explain that he needed to be 35 (maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration) before he gets married, he looked up at me and asked, “Marry me?”
I smiled and said, “Sam, I can’t marry you. I’m already married to daddy, and you can only marry one person.”
Sam’s face looked crestfallen. He glanced over at his sleeping dad.
Then he thought for a moment. Finally he said
I’m the prince and you’re the princess!
That boy. He has a solution for everything!

Hi,
I was referred to your blog from a friend. Your post today reminded me of my own 5 year old son who is determined to live with me “forever” Nice to meet you and I hope to visit often.

It’s the highest compliment, isn’t it! My son is now 7 though and yesterday when I was getting my oil changed didn’t want to sit in my lap because he was embarrassed. It broke my heart.
