But by the time he's my son's age (12yrs), the way he shows you will change somewhat. More than somewhat. A lot, actually. But it will still be sweet and heart-melting. In a weird way.

What a great line! Makes me wish I had written down more of the wonderful material my kids had at that age too. One comment I remember though: In the Target checkout line, back in the days when we wrote checks, my daughter was about 3, and as I quickly filled out the check while she sat in the cart, she matter-of-factly and apologetically informed the cashier while she rolled her eyes, "My mommy likes to color sometimes," as though I was holding up the process because I need to get my coloring fix before we left!

You get to see the beauty of the purity and sweetness of your children all the while appreciating the humor in it! "Ain't parenting grand?" Jenny,

Why do you have so many zits?" Kim to Audrey: "Audrey, you are SUCH a good artist!" Audrey: "Thanks, mom! You are SUCH a good eater!" Jacob: "HAHAHA mommy has a jelly belly! Mom, are you gonna DIE?" Kim: "No, not yet anyway" Audrey: "What if you die? What if you AND daddy die?" (tears welling, voice quivering) Kim: "You go live with Auntie Kristi and Uncle Jason." Audrey: (tears evaporate as she jumps up and runs to Jacob) "JACOB!! WE GET TO GO LIVE WITH KRISTI AND JASON!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!" Kim: "Um...hold on a minute..."

Jake is the sweetest, kindest child and of course the one who gives the most kisses. Ryan is the actress, who feels she should only give kisses if you deserve them. But I know how you feel and you could eat them up alive. Sometimes we just need to reflect on how beautiful children can be. This is so true, because I can actually picture them saying and doing it.
