make me look fancy.

this morning, tucker and i are discussing when his friend (who is a girl) is coming over on friday.  this is the conversation that took place:

me:  tucker, on friday lilly is coming over.
tucker:  on friday?
me:  yep.  after dinner.  but maybe she can come over a little earlier since you don't have school.
tucker:  mom, you have to make me look fancy.
me:  well, you look cute all the time.
tucker:  no, like no jeans.  that's fancy.

seriously?  my six-year-old wants to look 'fancy' for a playdate?  i think he officially has a crush.  just thought i should document this here so that in fifteen years i have leverage or something.

the beard is coming.

i have a lot to tell you about my weekend, but it's too late to write that post right now.  especially when i still have a load of laundry to finish and dishes to do.  whoops.  however, i had to post this little conversation i had with tucker before we left for dinner at my dad's tonight.  i can't help but smile when i think about it.

as we were getting ready, i noticed tucker had what appeared to be dry skin on his chin.  like i could peel it off almost.  i thought it could have been soap from the bath he didn't wash off, but i wasn't sure.  i told him to come over to me so i could wipe it off.  he complained (naturally) and our conversation went like this:

me:  tucker, come here.  i need to wipe that stuff off your chin.
tucker:  mom, it's dry skin! leave it alone!
me:  no, i'm wiping it off.  we have to go to papa's house.
tucker:  don't pick it! 
me:  i won't, i'm just going to wipe it off.
tucker:  it's just dry skin mom.  dry skin happens when your beard is coming.  my beard is coming. 
me:  oh?
tucker:  yeah.  dad, did you have dry skin when you grew a beard?
matt:  yeah (halfway listening to our conversation).
tucker:  see mom, my beard is coming.

so yeah.  i guess it won't be long now and my SIX YEAR OLD will be shaving.
