At bedtime tonight, after an action packed, sugar filled day he asked me to lay down with him. We talked about our favorite part of the day and what we're doing tomorrow. A few minutes passed and I could tell he was starting to doze off so I told him I was going to go. He sighed a deep sigh and said "alright" in a sleepy voice. Just as I was about to get up he asked, "One more kiss?" "Of course!" I responded. He put his (still sticky even after washing up for bed) hands on each side of my face and gave me a big kiss. Then he looked me in the eyes and said "I love you mama!" And curled into his bed. Just what I needed.
I need to remember this moment the next time he throws an epic fit because I made him wear pants to school.
