Sweet Story

Last night Eli was laying in bed and I was tucking him in when he asked a question. 

 "How old will you be when I get big?"

"When you're a grown up like me?" I said.

"Yeah, how old will you be when I'm grown up like you?"

"Well, you'll be a grown up like me and Daddy and we'll be Grandma and Grandpa's age."

The lower lip comes out.  "Where will you live?"

"I don't know," I said.  "We might still live right here in this house."

Still with a bit of a sad face Eli says, "Can I live next door?"  He's such a sweetheart.
