Every once in a while my persistence pays off...
Like last night, at 3:00 in the morning.
"Mom...Mom." My 2 year old daughter called from her room.
I was already awake with my 10 week old baby. "Yes, darling?"
"Um...well, um, sometimes I just don't really love you."
!!! Really? At 3 in the morning, THIS is what you yell across the room to me? [Thank you, sweetheart.] "Yes you do." I calmly replied.
"No, no...sometimes, well, sometimes I really just don't." the sweet, little voice insisted.
"No..." She said with a high and then low sing-songy voice, "No-oh..." [do you know what I'm talking about?] "I do-on't" [again the up and down sing-songy for "don't"]
How can someone be so adorable and mean at the same time?!
"Yes, you always love me. Now go to sleep, darling."
"Well, Mom, um sometimes I do love you." [almost apologetically, as though not wanting to completely discourage me]
"I know you do, darling. Good-night."
............................long pause...........................
"Well, actually Mom, I do love you!"
"Yes, sweetheart. And I love you too. Good-night."
"Good-night, Mom."
Lol! I had almost the same conversation before when Logan was about 3....but not at 3 am! lol I do agree...how can they be so cute yet so mean at the same time! ;) ~Hilary
