Theo was the first to greet me on mother's day. We were in a hotel in Nashville (for a family wedding) and I opened my eyes to find Theo leaning over me. He smiled and said, "Happy mother's day.....Gretch." Hmm.
A few days later he was doing something rather sweet (what that sweet thing he was doing has been lost) and I said, "Oh, Theo, where were we lucky enough to find you?" His immediate answer: Your uterus. Then back to playing. But I did catch him giving me a little backwards glance, trying to see how his mom was reacting to this new sass-a-frass side of him. And he found me smiling.
I'm pretty sure this new trend of witty little toss-backs with a smart aleck edge are just pre-teen Theo's way of telling me how much he loves me. Right?
