Pete was snuggled up next to me. "Mama," he said slowly, "when I grow up and move away from you--"
"Yes, darling?"
Eyes filling up and overflowing, he finished, "--I will miss you."

Welcome
- Welcome to my blog, where I mostly natter on about my kids and my dissertation. Occasionally I write about other things, like faith or food or breastfeeding and brain development or whether I am fit to be a mother. Also: is there an automatic weapon in my guest bedroom? And: does stay-at-home mothering rot the brain? If you are worried about slow weight gain in a breastfed baby, this is my most-viewed post — hope it's helpful to you.
Aaawww... that was so sweet! My boys haven't said anything quite like this, but they snuggle and say "I love you" a LOT! :-)

That's sweet. :) It reminds me of a moment LeighAnn had with her oldest. They were snuggling and she said "I have the best little boy in the whole world" He replies "...and I have the best....back yard" Okay...maybe her's wasn't quite as sweet ;)
