The other night I had had a VERY long day with the kids....seemed like they were all acting out much more than usual. I just felt worn out. I was putting them to bed and Dillon, out of nowhere, says this:
"Mama, you're the best mama I never seen".
I gave Noah a piece of yellow construction paper with stars on it that he could practice cutting on (he has to use scissors in kindergarten), and went out somewhere for a while. When I came back the stars were up on our fridge, neatly cut out. Jeff told me that he gave them to him because, "You and Mommy are stars to take care of us."
At dinner tonight I put together some leftovers for the kids to eat. Dillon starts to say something:
"Mama, you...."
and stops. Noah leans over & I can hear him whispering, prompting him:
Noah, whispering: "You're the best cook"
Dillon, triumphantly: "Mama, you're the fatness cook!"
