I have written before that one of our favorite books to read is "Guess How Much I Love You" by Sam McBratney. We often say that we love each other "to the moon and back."
Well, one morning Emmanuel and I went to get Reese out of the bed. And, as Reese lifted his head to lunge towards E, E said, "He's my best buddy."
Then, Emmanuel said to Reese, "I love you very much in the whole wide world to the moon and back!"
It was so great to hear Emmanuel shower Reese with his love. We often have toddler-infant struggles throughout the day, all day, every day...and I feel like I spend the better part of my day as a referee, a teacher, a disciplinarian. It can be very draining. So, instead of always focusing on the struggles, I thought I would take the time to enjoy a special moment shared between my two favorite little boys.
...and that moment passed quickly, as I must go back to being a referee...
How precious!!
