I’m trying to get some things done in my office. Claire is playing in her room, and she keeps finding a way to interrupt me. I spend a lot of time focused on her, but she’s also really good at playing by herself. Right now, though, she’s getting on my last nerve. I just need five more minutes to wrap this up. Just five more minutes. Is that so hard to ask?
Of course, she starts in again, calling to me from her room…
“Momma!”
“What?”
“Momma!?”
“What!?”
“MOMMA!?”
“CLAIRE! WHAT!?”
“I love you more than anything.”
“Ohhh, I love you too, sweetheart!”


Ooooh. LOVE.
Melts your heart.
Oh, goodness. They are very good at that, aren’t they?
(mine have the same knack for putting things into perspective).
Sounds so familiar! Its so hard not to be annoyed after they say such sweet things!
Ah. I love that. My daughter is getting into saying this to me. I want to hold onto each statement, each profession, because I know there will be about 10 years where I’ll rarely hear it at all.
I’m glad to see I’m not alone! Thanks for your comments!
