They come back to me and mamma gives me my sippy with apple juice.
"So, Chris ," Mama takes me out of my booster seat and carries me into the living room with mommy following. "What do you like? I'm hoping to have a bedroom here for you and I want to make sure it is exactly what you like."
"Will mommy have a bedroom here, too? Or will she sleep with you like she does Effen?"
"No, baby." Mommy tells me, blushing. "Sometimes mommies and mamas don't live together. You'll stay here with Mama sometimes, alone, just you and Mama, but only when you're ready. You will still live with mommy, though."
I don't know if I like that.
But I do like,
"Aminals." I tell mama, answering the question he asked. "I love Monster Trucks , and swimming, and Gray is my faborite color, and I just love aminals."
"Okay." Daddy nods. "So, what's your favorite animal?"
"I not sure." I shrug my little shoulders. "Oh! And I like Mickey Mouse."
"Mickey Mouse?" Daddy asks, looking at mommy.
"It's a cartoon show he likes. He started watching it when I changed my major. But his interests change so often, it may not interest him next week. Though he has always liked animals."
"Oh. Well, I'll have to watch it some time. Maybe we can watch it together and you can help me learn more about it."
"Yes!" I squeal, bounce and clap my hands, so excited. I can't wait!
"Have you been to the zoo?" Mama asks me before looking at mommy. "We could go together, another way to get to know each other. They have lots of animals there we could check out."
"Just you and Chris ?" Mommy asks, seeming hesitant and biting her lip.
"No, I mean all three of us. I'm sure he's not ready to be alone with me yet."
