Real Life with Vintage Jodie: My son’s new friend

Real Life with Vintage Jodie - by Real Pretend Vintage

One of my goals as a mom is to get my children acquainted with society and gain skills that will help them through life. That being said, I feel compelled to share with you a heartwarming story from my real life!

Last night my four year old son acquired a new friend. I have seldom seen him so excited. He sat in my home office with me for well over an hour carrying on about the wonders of his new friend. It was rather humorous and endearing, so I listened and nodded when appropriate.

He was still babbling on about his new friend at bedtime and I finally consented to letting his pal spend the night. Then when “someone” would not stay in his bed, I threatened to remove the friend from his bedroom. My son cried real tears and went to bed for the rest of the night.

Vintage Jodie's son has a cooling fan for a new best friend

Love, Vintage Jodie

  1. Sounds like a slippery slope, Jodie. First it’s a little computer fan and the next thing you know, your son is in his toddler bed, spooning a jet engine.

    I can sort of see his smile behind the fan! So cute! I would vote for it looking good for his future career.
