I want to be a car rider mom

today going to school i asked mamie if she was ready for her spelling test. she said "no", i don't want to go to school and i don't want to take a spelling test, i want to be a car rider mom". i tried to get off the subject because i knew tears would swell up inside. so i started running down everything we were going to do this weekend. i said "well we have have tons to do this weekend and it is going to be so much fun." she asked what? i said "well y'all are going to go to church tonight and play with friends, we go to carley's birthday tomorrow morning, then y'all are going with the young family tomorrow night, then sunday we go to ss and church, then grandparents come in town to watch you and nolan sing sunday night." she said "well that is just fine, but i still want to be a car rider all the time." i told her, well you can't sweet heart, i have to go to work so that i can get money to pay for you and nolan stuff. she said "well tell daddy you don't want to work anymore and i want to be a car rider." i tried very hard to explain that was just not going to happen and then it was time to let her out. i gave you a kiss on the cheek and sent her off. i watched her walk in and she turned around and waved with a BIG smile on her face. boy, that just tugs at my heart. i know i have posted about this before and i will probably continue to do so, because nolan will be starting soon, yea, i know not for another two years, but it will be here before i realize it. when mamie starts saying she wants to be a car rider, nolan speaks up and says, me too momma? this is the best age Mamie 6 and Nolan 3. so why can't they stay this age forever??
