gopher

Overheard this morning. I was in the bathroom getting ready for the day; the boys were in the living room watching an episode of Blue's Clues.

Garrett: [in a sweet, high-pitched voice; I imagine he was also batting his puppy-dog eyes] You go get my blanket?

Caleb: [as he squirms to get off the couch] Bruh-baa, bruh-baa (translation: Be right back, be right back).

Caleb runs to the bedroom. I hear him climb onto Garrett's bed, fumble around a bit, then slide off. The next thing I see is Caleb running back to the living room with Garrett's blanket bundled in his arms.

Caleb: [as he hands the blanket to Garrett] Go (translation: Here you go).

Garrett: Oh, thank you, Cay-buh! [He buries his face in his blanket and snuggles with it.]

Caleb: [Claps his hands after a job well done.]


Well, that ranks as one of the sweetest things I've seen them do together. Also, it appears that Garrett has found his very own gopher boy.
