We (hubby & I only) took a 3 day road trip & left the kids to be happily spoiled by the grands. They had a ball of course, but I noticed Em being happier than usual to see us & even clingy. Tonight she sat at the table eating a piece of cake & said...
Dad, I've decided something. I like living in an RV. It's cozy & close & we're more together & I like that.
My heart swelled & my jaw did NOT drop (that was hard). I helped her put words to it & said that sounds like you're feeling love & you like it. THEN before she could (would) object & play the "No I hate love" game, I said & you like sugar too isn't this cake yummy?
Score: 1 for everyone tonight!
