-your husband asks you if you want an English muffin, with the timeless phrase:
"I only took one bite out of it and Connor dropped it on the floor, but it's okay."
That's love.
-your son, who has just yesterday learned checkers by playing 5 matches against you, before your husband steps in to teach him how to play correctly (so you can't move backwards in checkers?). Following about 10 rounds of checkers yesterday, he wakes at 7am to say:
"So, Mommy, are you ready to play checkers?"
-your little son starts every conversation with:
"Daddy? Mommy?? D-mommy? Mommy? MOMMY??" (must verbally acknowledge him before he will continue with the actual point-which will contain the words "Lightning McQueen".)
-Your husband who has a toothache and has a gig at 5pm, still offers to take you to the grocery store, drives AND pays for the groceries. Which is good, because otherwise we would have no groceries. ;)
-your son tells you that while your car is very cool, it would be waaay cooler if you painted the entire outside of the car in "camo".
"Because that would be really, really awesome, Mommy!" Riiight.
-your son who is glowing with fever, yet also glowing with personality wants to sit with you all the time.
"I want up, Mommy." I pick him up, his little body roasting and radiating.
"Right, Mommy!" His new encouragement when I do something "right." We have slept on the couch for the past two nights because being sick is not right.
-your son thinks that you only want Disney Princess girly stuff for Christmas.
"We're boys and we don't like that girly stuff. Only you do, Mommy."
Do you know how tempted I am to get Ian something Disney Princess for his stocking?? Seriously??
If someone could wrap up all of these classic phrases and moments, put them in a box for me and give them to me year after year-that would be the best present in the world. I am so afraid I will forget something, but I always know how much I am loved.

That's what blogger is for ;). But don't worry - you'll probably forget stuff, but only because you'll have lots of new wonderful things to remember!
I am buying you a Disney Princess something this year after hearing that we are supposed to like that stuff.
Awwww...that is so sweet! I know I'd love an english muffin like that!
You need to put all of these in a scrapbook when you get time...like when your boys are older!
I'm so far behind on my reading. Internet was out for 48!!! hours... Aggggh. Blogger records these memories as Julie said, but you could always make yourself a literal physical box or boxes and save them and then they would be there for you or you to read when you need a pick-up (or when they are teenagers) and then could pass them on to your sons when they are grown. I kind of like that idea.
I can't possibly be the only person who wants to know....did you eat the english muffin???
