tween

*sigh* can't get over this face.

the other night we had this conversation at bedtime...

you see, i still get to tuck him into bed.  i'm sure if he was reading this or thought any of his buddy's read this he would be horribly embarrassed-  although it's truly hard to tell with this kiddo, he is pretty comfortable in his skin.  

so the other night as i hugged him good night i said, "love you to the moon and back."  (this is a quote from a popular children's book that we read  many, many times together.)  he replied, "i love you to the moon and back five times."  which prompted me to ask, "oh, just five times?"  because we've had this lil' ritual off n' on thru time and he usually replies with "love you to the moon and back , round the universe to infinity" or some variation there of so i wondered why tonight i only rated 'five times?'

he said very matter of factly, "well mom, you only said love you to the moon and back to me once."   

well there you go.  a very good point.

this is so him right now- definitely a tweener.

and mr. a if you do read this... my love will always be with you, a part of you and will follow you anywhere- to the ocean, to the sky, to the moon and beyond.
