When Mom Says No
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”

This Morning #LoveForNoah
This morning I crawled into bed with Monkey and nuzzled his sleep tousled hair, kissed his pillow creased cheeks and inhaled the smell of small, sleeping, content boy. This lasted mere seconds before Nathan swooped in and started tickling and waking Monkey with smiles and laughter. This morning, I brushed Princess hair and helped her…

That is so adorable! The photo is a perfect for this post.
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.
🙂 it’s amazing the things that can come out of our kids mouths 😉
I live for these exchanges.
These moments really make up for so many other moments, don’t they?!
Out of the mouths of babes . . .

We need to get him and my soon to be 3yo. Right now her favorite sentence is, “No Mom, you’re bad. Go to YOUR room.”
Love it! Heather, I hope you take advantage and RUN towards your room to put yourself in time-out!
His response? Adorable. Yours? Perfect. And I’m stealing it.
It’s yours 😉 xooxox MWAH!
I never realized how much *I* show my caring until I read your post 🙂
Hee Hee 😉
This is such a great pic and a great post. My daughter is 21 months and I say No a lot and feel bad sometimes, so thanks for the tip and making me smile! I love your tweets, facebook and so on…you are awesome!

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!
Hahaha, adorable. 🙂
Sweetness. Some day they will THANK us for saying no!
awwwww!
Beyond precious and hilarious!
