I thought this was a cute an interesting quote that happened this morning from my little guy. He and Cara were quietly coloring when I came out, so I decided to grab a quick bath before the action started. I told them where I'd be and Scott said,
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll watch out the window and if any bad guys come, I'll lock up the door and won't let them in to get you."
Interesting. To be honest, I was a little taken aback by this one. We don't talk much about bad guys or watch anything with bad guys in it. For him to be thinking that way first thing in the morning was a little shocking to my delicate morning sensibilities, but then children often do shock me in the morning. It did delight me, however, that he wants to use his toughness in a good way. It's making me wonder if he thinks every time Daddy leaves to go to work, he has to protect those three helpless girls. It's a lot of responsibility for a four-year -old!
Big responsibilities on such little shoulders. I do think that they grow into manhood a little at a time. This is where it starts. Good job, Scott! :)
