One night last week, four-year-old Jacinta---more often known as Qiu Qiu (Choo Choo)---and I played our own version of Guess How Much I Love You as we lay in bed together.
Me: I love you all the way up to the top of the mountains.
Qiu: I love you all the way down in the well.
Me: I love you all the way up to the clouds.
Qiu: I love you over to that bench.
Me: I love you all the way up to the moon.
Qiu: I love you into the mattress.
Okay, so I don't think she gets it. But she does get an A for originality.
And I do know that she loves me. Because she tells me so...looking straight into my eyes...with her sweet hands cradling my cheeks...several times a day. Ah, motherhood.
