Conversations

Tonight I had a conversation with Dexter I want to remember in 13 years in case he changes how he feels.

Dexter:  One of my teacher's kid is graduating high school tonight and going to college.
Mom:  Oh that's exciting for your teacher.  When you go to college I am going to cry so much!
Dexter: Why?
Mom: Because I will be sad that I don't get to see you every day.
Dexter: Why?
Mom: Because when you go to college you will live there and not in my house anymore.
Dexter: {long pause and starts to cry}  I will miss you so much.

Here is a photo of a birdhouse we painted.  Aunt Beth bought the bird house for Dexter when we visited the botanical gardens last weekend.
