Sweetest Moment
Today's sweetest moment is courtesy of, who else, WildChild, who's been spending a few days with us. Last night, he was happily munching on Sweethearts candy....a big hit because a) they're shaped like hearts, his current favorite shape and b) they have words on them.
So he was carefully getting one candy out at a time, I would read the words, he would repeat the saying and then pop the candy into his mouth. Until he pulled out one that said "I love you". I read the candy, he considered it for a few moments and then said
"I lub you Ma" and snuggles up against me for a hug.
I guess buying him a dumptruck load would be overdoing it a bit.

Me too. They're what keeps me from killing him when we have moments like this morning's....he *needed* to play with his Play-Doh, he didn't *want* any breakfast.
I rarely tell him no, but dammit. When I do, I mean it. And those whiny fake-crying fits only gets you put in time-out....as he discovered.

Nah, give him all the Sweethearts he wants. Then give him back to his parents when the sugar-crash kicks in.
Hope that you are well.
Love,
D
