Three Lil' Lees: my boyfriend.

my boyfriend.

Cade and Cannon were sitting at the bar coloring as I was putting the lights on the Christmas tree in the kitchen....

Cade: Mama, who is my other daddy?

Me: What?

Cade: Who is my other daddy?

Me: Cade, what are you talking about? You have one daddy.

Cade: Well, I know somebody that has two daddies.

At this point I tried to lightly explain divorce and remarrying to a five year old so that he could understand why some children have two daddies. All was quiet for a few minutes.

Cade: (very loud) Oh, I know! I know! I know who my other daddy is!

Me: Who Cade?

Cade: Your boyfriend Mama!

Me: Cade, I don't have a boyfriend except for your daddy. Who are you talking about?

Cade: You know that boy we see on tv that plays football. The one you think is cute.

At this point I realize who he is talking about.

Cannon: What is your boyfriend's name?

Me: Philip Rivers.

Cade: Yeh, that is it. That is who I'm talking about.

Cannon: What team does our other daddy play football for?

Me: He isn't your other daddy. He plays for the Chargers.

Cannon: Oh yeh, I love that team.

Cade

age 7

This boy loves skunks, writing, blueberry muffins, taco pizza, a fierce game of hide-n-seek, and a great story. He has broken the world record for the number of times a person can ask "how do you spell..." in one day. He is a great big brother to Landry. He butts heads with his lil' brother Cannon and has been known to complain from time to time. He is brutally honest and calls things like he sees them (which is refreshing at times). He is handsome and tender-hearted. He has a short list of who he shares his affection with. I am thankful to be on the list. He is my sunshine.

Cannon

age 5

He loves lions, the color green, bananas, popsicles, sports, anything dangerous, and being funny. He is the kid that manages to look dirty by the time he takes his towel off from getting a bath. He is passionate. He can be hugging you and in a split second be having a complete meltdown over his shoes not going on as easily as he thinks they should. He is confident, strong, and handsome. He doesn't like anything that is "girl stuff." He can tell you about any ACC team and their mascot. He also holds a world record for asking "who is winning"the most times while a ballgame is on. He is cuddly and sweet. He is my chocolate cake.

Landry

age 4

She loves changing her clothes, wearing her "fast shoes", eating apples, and brushing her teeth. She loves pigs, pink and baby dolls. She really loves boy stuff just as much as her babies. She is sweet and loving. She also can be a little bull-headed. She likes to go places and see people. She is smart and fast. She is pretty and charming. She has a cute sense of humor to go along with her stubbornness. She is just what I needed. She is my twinkle.
