Several times in the past 2 weeks Max has told me that he's all done growing or that he doesn't want to get any bigger.
I thought it might be in response to my cleaning out his closet of outgrown clothing or maybe in response to us giving away his toddler bed, even though he seemed fine with both of those things.
I thought maybe it was because he just wants to stay my "baby" for a little while longer, even though he's excited about starting his kindergarten program. (He couldn't wait until fall so he started just after the new year.)
But then last night, he climbed into my lap and said,
"I don't want to get any bigger. I'll stay little forever. So will you make me a cup of coffee now?"
It turns out the comments about staying small were in response to my refusal to let him have his own cup of Starbucks! He's heard his Dad frequently say that he doesn't drink coffee because he's not all grown up yet.
A boy after his Mama's own heart! (But no, I didn't make him any coffee.)
