When I was a baby..

My li'l one turned three last month and his favorite phrase these days seems to be "When I was a baby.."When he is not allowed to or even when he doesn't want to do something, he immediately with an all-knowing nod goes "When I was a baby, I used to / (didn't) do that!!" Doesn't matter if he even remembers or not what he did the day before but it is pretty cute when he says it with all his wisdom of 3 years.
And is also interesting when you think about how that phrase gets caught on this early and we don't let go of it all through our lives. On the contrary, it gets stronger over the years as we've all heard our parents, grandparents begin most of their lectures with "when we were kids(young)...." looking through our rolling eyes into their distant past and sighing longingly at their great times!
And you know what is great now?!School is out, graduations parties all around and summer is here! Guess that's our fun present.I love this time of the year, probably more so because the second half of the year has more long weeknds. Even if we srew-up one long wknd, there is always another one right around the corner :-) And the best of all is that the sun is still out & bright when I'm picking up my little one from the daycare.
Happy Summer. And who knows, you might just get yet another chance in future to say "The summers, when I was young... :-)
