I have lots to blog about, but thought I'd write down a conversation I just had with Halle while getting them ready for bed. It went something like this...
(I was putting diaper cream on Avery's poor red bum!)
Halle: Doesn't that feel pretty gross, mom??
Me: Yeah, but mom's have to do lots of gross stuff.
Halle: I don't want to be a mom.
Me: Why? Cause you don't want to do gross stuff?
Halle: No, cause then I wouldn't get to spend as much time with you.
Me:I still get to spend time with my mom.
Halle: Not very much though.
Me: Well that's cause I'm busy taking care of you guys. I love taking care of you and wouldn't want to be doing anything else.
Halle: You are just saying that cause that's what moms have to say to their kids!
I guess to a kid, being a mom doesn't seem very fun. One day she'll see how great it really is....even amongst the gross stuff!

I love Halle - that's a great conversation. . . and very true! I do wish I got to see my mom more. Sadie asked me the other day if I liked pretending to be a mom when I was little better than being a real mom. I guess the job isn't very glamorous looking!
That is so sweet that she just loves you to high heaven and is so concerned about not being with you!! What a sweet girl!
That is so cute! You will be so glad you took the time to write that cute conversation down!
I love the things kids say! Especially about stuff that as a mom you just do. Their perspective is always priceless.
Don't you love that! Zoe says she's not getting married because she always HAS to live with me. I hope she'll always feel that way (but not really do it).
