Packing list

Andrew sat down with the boys the other night to talk to them about the possibility of going on a camping trip over Easter. He had Bailey make a list of things they would need to to bring. I was busy cleaning up after dinner so wasn't part of the discussion.
I found Bailey's list the next morning...

There I was at number 22. Mum

Nicely positioned between 21. torch and 23. monkey (his stuffed night time teddy).

Sweet of him to want to remember you! He's like me. If I don't write it down, I seriously can't remember it.

Tara said...

That's so cute. At least you rank before the monkey.

Maybe he was starting in the morning and working his way chronologically down the list. When he got to bedtime he thought he might need a torch, and his Mum, and his monkey. When I was a little boy Liese, having my Mum tuck me in at bedtime was probably the highlight of my day. If he was listing them by importance, I am sure you would rank higher.

Michael, you are sweet. I was a little concerned seeing as 'shovel' was at number 4.

I've read that post three times now because it just makes me laugh. At least you were on the list and they didn't forget you completely.

So glad he wants you to come!

Ah, another list maker in the family - that's good. Perhaps Bailey assumes that YOU will be the one assembling all the things on his list ...

Sweet, although sometimes I want to be left off and have everyone else leave.......just for a short time though!

Josh said...

I second michaels comment - he is a wise man, as you can tell by his Christmas card.... :)

Mum and Dad said...

How sweet of Michael to say that! I hope that made you feel better, Liesa. (Love you Michael!!)

Mum and Dad said...

Of course, it goes without saying, we love you too, Liesa!!

Aren't kids great? Sometimes they just make you feel so loved.

Very cute, but I'm with Michael - he probably thought about when he would really need you - kind of nice that you weren't listed between the food and dishes.
