A conversation between the 3 year old Monkey and Me.
Monkey: “Mom, why do you tell me No so much?”
Me: “Because I care about you” (short easy mom answer)
Without missing a beat….
Monkey: ” You sure care about me a lot”

Thank you
I just love that picture!
That is so sweet! And so typical of the things coming from my daughters’ mouths I had to laugh! Thanks for brightening my day.
I’m so happy to have a part in brightening your day
My kids definitely brighten mine!
There is no better affirmation that you are doing a great job than that statement…plus it really warms the heart for the rest of the day.
Dad, by warms your heart.. do you mean has Grandpa laughing his butt off?
Because, that’s what I think
THey keep me grinning, laughing, questioning myself and all of that other fun stuff.
That is SO precious.

Awe! You sure do know how to make a girl’s day!
Thank you, so much! I try to temper the No’s by changing it up: saying Not right now or That’s maybe not the best/safest idea.
It’s definitely a wake up call when he says stuff like that
Thankfully, it was said with a sweet concerned smile ;_)
Way better than “Because I’m the mom, that’s why.” Man, I hated that one!
