In a little bit

My 3-year-old is obsessed with the phrase, "in a little bit."

Hayden will ask me when we are going to the pool, and if I say "later," he corrects me. "No, in a LITTLE BIT." Evidently, a little bit will happen sooner than later.

And so it goes in our house, the daily conversations.

"Mom, when can I have dessert?" Maybe in awhile...I will respond. "No, Mom, in a little bit," I am quickly reminded.

Same thing happened when Hayden asked me how much longer till we would be at Aunt Cindy's house in North Carolina.

"Very soon," I promised.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO...in a little bit!" He is a determined little guy.

Last night, I told Hayden to please turn off the tv and get ready for bed. His response?

"Later."

They keep me laughing. Glad you like the layout. I only changed it about 30 times before settling on this one...drove me crazy!

Here I thought my son was strange for always correcting us with "in five minutes" instead of later.
