Dialogue with my son :: The solution seeker ::

Thursday 21 January 2016

Making sense of it all when you are 3... 

Maman, can I give a toy to Leo? Mon cheri, it is really nice of you to want to share but you know we can't, he is in the sky with the stars and the moon. Oh that's not a problem, we will build a ladder that goes up to the sky, and we will be able to give him new toys. 

And could you buy a new Leo? Euh, no, there is only one Leo and you know that although we think about him all the time, he is not with us physically. Do you miss Leo? Yes I do ... So could you buy a new baby? Mon cheri, you remember that I did not buy Leo, I was pregnant, I was huge, do you remember when I was really big? Hmm, yes, but I really think I would like a baby boy right now. And if it is a girl. No thanks, I just want a baby boy, pleeeassse. 

I took these pictures this Sunday - we had snow for one day. And well, his face says it all. He is wearing his acorn hat, as he does everyday.

  6. I love that you both are able to talk about Leo - the conversation level will change over the years but the sentiment will not.

  7. Handsome boy. A somewhat bittersweet conversation but precious full of love all at the same time.
