'Twas The Night Before Our Playdate....

Gabe's school friend, Joseph, and his mom and younger brother are coming over for a playdate this morning.  Gabe's beyond thrilled about it, and according to Joseph's mom, Joseph is equally excited.  So cute!

Anyway, it seems that Gabe and I are very alike in our thoughts (which isn't a very good thing for Gabe).  Yesterday, as I was picking up things around the house, Zach asked what I was doing.  Gabe said, "she's cleaning the house so that my best friend, Joseph, won't trip on anything."

And when I baked muffins for the playdate and Gabe asked what the muffins were for, I told him that they were for our playdate.  Gabe said, "Thank you, Mom.  Joseph will love them, and then he'll think that I'm great."  That was a direct quote.  Of course, I responded to Gabe that he's already great and that Joseph already likes him.  I reminded him that he doesn't need muffins to make himself great, that muffins are just for fun.  Oh, no!!!  Am I rubbing off on him already?

Later, when I asked Gabe if he was happy about Joseph coming to play, he said, "no, I'm excited!"  Fingers crossed that things go well this morning.....!
