"Mom, you just saved my life!".

Our last night on the beach was beautiful. We tossed the frisbee around while the boys splashed and swam. Elijah had already expressed to me his anger about having to leave the net morning. I knew it would be a challenge getting him back to the beach house and in bed for the night.
Me : "Elijah, babe, I know it's sad but we have to get back to the beach house now, shower off and go to bed.."
Elijah : "Mom! NO! I want more minutes!!"
Me : "Ok, let's do 4 more minutes because you're 4." (this usually works by the way.)
Elijah : "NO! I want more! I want like, 7 days more!"

As I was replacing some batteries in a toy, Lazzy got hold of the screw driver. Elijah saw him and shouted:
"No Laz! You might die!!"
I giggled a bit because, well, it was pretty dramatic. Elijah noticed that I wasn't taking him seriously and then said "Mom, it's true! Sharp things will hurt him and he might die!"
Turns out I don't really need to look out for Laz. He has his own personal protector!

After FINALLY putting his face under water in the bathtub, Elijah exclaimed:
"Mama!! I did it! I'm so proud that I put my face in the water and blew all my airs out of my nose!! It's like, I'm already a man!"
