Pillow talk

So each night Rylan asks me to rub his back. I used to scratch or rub it each night after story and prayer time but now he wants to lay in bed and talk and giggle more than get his back rubbed until he goes to sleep. Either way I am good with it hehehe :) we giggle about whatever is happening in that moment, sounds we hear or sometimes we make up crazy stories and laugh about how silly they are, sometimes we giggle about what we want each other to dream about. Tonight we giggled for a while about the whipped cream we put on our strawberries (we have shared a pint of strawberries every night for at least a week now) then I decided I would try some of my late night silly questions on him that I usually save for Rhett. Rhett now just thinks I'm crazy lol he used to think they were funny and cute now they are weird lol..... Anyway I have found someone who likes them... Rylan!!!! So the first question was, if you could be any animal what would you be? Without a pause or even a second to think about it (as if he has been waiting forever for me to ask this exact question) he said, I would be a cheetah-lion (he said it like it was all one word, like there is such an animal) I said oh ok then he only a breath later changed his mind, he said no I want to be an alligator-snapping-turtle with spikes on my back. Then we talked about what his body would look like, big alligator head and body but with a hard turtle shell with spikes of course. Then he wanted to know what I would be, I already knew I want to be a Jesus lizard I told him (I don't know what they are really called but the ones that walk on the water really fast) I tried to explain it to him but I bet he thought I was making it up like his cheetah-lion. Then I said but I would have pink skin and he said oh yeah mine would be purple. Then I said well if you could have any job in the world what would you be? He said he would be a bat hunter!!! Lol OH REALLY NOW?! I imagined him in one of those safari hats and outfits being all sneaky outside of a cave in his little 4 year old body holding a bat slaying device of some sorts. Next Rylan said "what kind of job would you have in the world mom" I said oh well I guess I want to take care of baby animals... He started giggling uncontrollably and I didn't know why but I was laughing too then he said "you are gonna be a babysitter mom" lol!!! I said yeah I guess I want to do that I told him how I want to give bottles to baby monkeys and cute stuff like that and he said "yeah and you are gonna change poop diapers too!!" lol we were both laughing so loud but I said yeah I guess that is part of it. I think he can smell the 5 year old inside of me ;) I'll go to bed a little happier inside tonight. I love being a mom.
