Hey Big A - remember that time when you were 4 and you got mad at me for something or other and stomped up to your room? And I bragged on Facebook about how great it was that you could play on your own in your room? And then a little while later, you came downstairs with your new doll with her toes and feet painted blue and said you wanted them to be just like yours? And then I asked you if you'd made a mess with the nailpolish and you said no? And I said, "Are you sure? Just tell me now." And you still said no.
And then we went upstairs for bedtime and there on your beautiful Pottery Barn Kids rug that I saved for forever were 5 spots of bright blue nailpolish? And remember how you started crying before I said a word? And I tried to scrub it out to no avail? And I told you to get ready for bed and you couldn't watch a cartoon before bed as your punishment? And then you screamed "Calliou" hysterically while jumping on your bed for 20 minutes while Little A and I watched the show? And then cried some more. And then finally stopped when I came in to say goodnight. And then I said "I love you" and you said "I love you, too" and we were both kind of relieved that it was still true?
Oh yeah, that was tonight. Good times.
