What do you do when you are told by your 6-year-old that he can't wait to "get" some kids and have a family?
I will tell you...you listen intently...because it only leads to a better story!
Yesterday morning, I was blessed with a morning conversation with Dominic Jr while I was getting ready for an appointment and I will remember it for the rest of my days.
It went a little something like this....
"Mom...I can't wait to get some kids and have a family of my own."
"Well bud, what has Mommy told you...you will have a family of your own one day, after you go to college and get married to the woman of your dreams." (He's been a bit obsessed with the topic lately)
"Mom...do I only get two kids?"
"Well..you can have as many as you want...one, two, three...."
"I want three...I think...one boy...NO! Three girls." (My heart squished, by the way)
"Wow..three girls...that's gonna be a LOT of work. But I know you will be a good Daddy, so you will be able to handle it."
"Yeah!"
"So, what do you think you will name my three grand-daughters?"
"First....I will name the first one the most beautiful girl's name ever.."
I have to admit the narcissistic side of my was sure it was going to be Shannon.
"...it's going to be Bubbles."
"Bubbles...(straight faced, mind you) that is beautiful. What will you name the second girl?"
"Hmmm, I don't know....I have to think about that...maybe.........OH, I know! I will name the second girl Rain! And the last girl will be Sun."
"Like Sunny?"
"No, Happy Sun...but Sun will be her name."
"Wow Dom..those are beautiful names, I will be very proud to have Bubbles, Rain and Sun be my grand-daughters and I will spoil them with all my love."
"Thanks Mom...now can I go play?"
So, there you go family and friends...that is what I get to look forward to and I have to say it's looking like a BEAUTIFUL future!
