I do win....







It was so beautiful this weekend. Two 70 degree days planted into February are always a welcome addition. And having Grampa in from Colorado just made it even better.

After a long day of driving and playing yesterday, I was watching Brent finish up his snack before bed. He was doing nothing special - eating jello as slowly as possible to avoid bedtime and focusing on whatever strange cartoon was on. I just propped up on my elbow and stared at him for a few moments. His eyes shifted to me and he asked "What are you looking at?".

"Just you," I said. "Just thinking that I love you".
"I love you most-er!" he said
"Well but I love you the super most-est!" I countered.
"No, I love you super duper duper most-est" he said enthusiastically.

That was a hard one. I thought about it a moment, and then said "Well... I love you as only a mommy can love such a wonderful big boy".

He looked at me, paused, and then just said, "Ok... you win". And I do.
