A small glimpse into our lives as we live off-grid… sort of like eves dropping. It may be a thought, quote or a conversation; funny, sweet or sad; but it will always be true. We will see if it resonates with you…
3-year-old son: (as we’re
driving home) “Mom! Dad drove me down
that road yesterday and took me to see the tooter!”
Me: “The what?”3-year-old son: “The tooter! Dad let me have a ride on it. It was really fun!”
Me: “Do you mean the yarder? The yarder is the logging machine that pulls the trees up the mountain and makes a toot toot sound”
3-year-old son: (very seriously) “Mom. Dad said that we can call it a tooter.”
Me: “Ooooh, okay.”
3-year-old son: “Dad drove me down that road yesterday and took me to see the tooter! Daddy pulled me up on the tooter, and I got to ride it and it was a lot of fun! I also got to ride the workers excavator. That’s all.”
Me: “So Daddy took you to see the loggers working and let you sit and ride in some of their equipment?”
3-year-old son: (very seriously) “Mom. That is what I just said! When will Santa be here?”
Me: “Santa will be here in a little over four months. Why?”
3-year-old son: “Because I want to ask Santa for a tooter and excavator!”
Me: (laughs) “Oh Jack, I love you!”
3-year-old son: (smiles) “I love you too Mom!”
