We're running around like chickens with their heads cut off because today is the day of Sophie's birthday party! You know I'm going to post all kinds of photos soon, but until then I'll let you eavesdrop on this conversation I had with Oliver on the way to pick up balloons.
Me (glancing into rear-view mirror at my grumpy face): UGH! I look terrible.
Oliver: Why?
Me: I guess I'm a little stressed out about the party.
Oliver: I think you look beautiful and sokissifitted. How do you say that word?
(I think he meant sophisticated, but I prefer sokissifitted. And then he said What does sokissifitted mean, anyway?
What a fabulous sweet boy...
ReplyDeleteand so right, too.

Sweet. Yes, soffitifisss...whatever he said. Happy Birthday Sophie. I hope it is a good one.
ReplyDelete(Yesterday my boy asked me what practical means. I wish I had said, I haven't the foggiest. I told him sensible and boring instead.)

Elizabeth- your face is mama-beauty to me.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday to sophie. may it be a healthy, happy year, with many more of the same to come.
ReplyDeleteand, of course, happy birthday to you, source mama.
Having seen you up close and personal, I have to say that you are absolutely beautiful. Empirically beautiful, no question, inside and out.
ReplyDeletebeautiful AND sokissifitted - maybe what he meant was "kissable" .... kids are precious truthtellers
ReplyDeleteI hope you all have a super party! (and wishing Sophie a very belated Happy Birthday).
ReplyDeletesokissifitted - whatever it means it sounds great!:-)

ReplyDeleteIt is so amazing how a little boy can perk up his mom in such a fine fashion! ((sigh!))
I am waiting with anticipation to see your beautiful photos.
And, you are beautiful.
Yes, I prefer that too. He is indeed a sweet soul.
ReplyDeleteThat is so stinkin' cute.
ReplyDeleteso you were going crazy getting ready for a party, and projected and emanated enough beauty and love and soffisikissitedness for your son to notice.
ReplyDeletethat says volumes about you.

I've told you before that I love your kids, yes?
ReplyDeleteAnd what did you answer? I don't know exactly what it means but I think you stress the "kiss".
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
What a perceptive and wonderful son. You may have been responding to what your saw through your feeling of stress - and how often we do that! - but he was looking deeply. I love that!
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful in every photo I've seen.
