All the Numbers

Sitting with my peanut today, brought back a great memory that brings tears to my eye. He said "Mama, tell me the number story."   Ok, it was only three years ago but when your son is five, three years seems so long!  It was a cold winter's night (wow that sounds like the start of a story told by my grandpa), peanut was having a hard time sleeping and he wanted to crawl into bed with me.
Crawling into bed, he asked me to read. We read an excerpt from the story, All the Numbers by Judy Merrill Larsen (great book by the way, tear jearker but well worth the read). In the story the little boy is asking his mama how much she loves him and she replies all the numbers.

Tear jerker alert!

Three days later my little peanut says to me as I am putting him into bed. "Mama, I love you all the numbers all the time." From that day on, there isn't a day that goes by that I do not hear or say those words!  One of my favorite Mama Moments.

All the time
