I wuv you the MOST!

Everything is hard these days! The kids are restless. We have no where to go. They don't want to cooperate under these sudden new rules that have eclipsed all of their fun times of day trips and ice cream shops. Their grownups are less patient and often, the day is a string of scoldings.

I have to write this so I will remember that the sweetness of youth is still passing along so quickly while our days in quarantine seem to drag by.

My wild littlest boy, so defiant and head strong, was a mess of tears after 12 hours of asserting his dominance against that of Mom, Dad, his nanny, his brothers.  All day long, I hear,

What's next? What's after this?

We are washing hands and getting ready for bed. 

Tears! His tired body wobbled on the foot stool at the sink and he almost went over. Now, scared, the crying became heartbreaking instead of annoying. I am so glad I gave him a snuggle and assured him that he was ok, yes, that was scary to almost fall.

I wuv you the BEST Mama! More than Lilbit, more that Daddy or the brudders!

Oh, my heart. I needed to hear that I was his favorite, even after all of the discipline and my hard line on shenanigans.

I always whisper to each boy, "You are my favorite", because it is true.
