...about love.
the other day i got sentimental and weepy about the lack of iloveyou's from my sweet harrison boy. but i can see the humor in it too. i mean...it is kinda funny. as proof, here are two similar, yet very different, conversations that took place yesterday:
the scene: graham and i are sitting on the couch watching dinosaur train. graham leans over and rests his head on my arm.
graham: mommy, i love you so much.
me: graham, i love you so much too.
graham: i love you to the moon and back and the sun and back.
me: well i love you to the stars and back and the planets and back.
graham: well who loves more?
me: i do.
graham: no i love you more.
me: no i love you more.
graham: no i love you more.
and so it went.
the scene: harrison and i are sitting on the couch watching wild kratts.
me: pssst. harrison...
(harrison looks over at me)
me: i love you so much buddy.
harrison: you've already told me that.
and so it goes.
My conversation with my girls:
ReplyDeleteLucy - Mommy sometimes I get lonely and worry about people I love dying. I would miss you if you died.
Me - I would miss you too honey. (Hugs)
Lucy - I wonder if Hannah ever gets lonely or feels alone
Me - Why don't you go ask her.
Lucy - (coming back) She said "Nope. Never. Please leave my room."
