Tonight in bed, Elliot said to me, “I always love you.”
He says “Daddy? I love you” all the time. So often that I am quite amazed. Definitely once per hour on average and sometimes more. But this is the first time I’ve heard him say , “I always love you.” Of course my heart melted all over again. “I love you, too, Elliot. No matter what.”
This was after reading 6 books: Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood, Duck in the Truck, At The Old Haunted House, Cowboy and Octopus (one of my favorites), and Elliot’s new favorite Charles the Dog.
He also told me he loves Milky Cat, who was in bed with us and Keecha cat. I told a Pizza Kitten bed time story, of course.
He asked me to buy eyeball candy. To be sure I knew what he meant, i pulled up a picture of Trolli Glotzer Eyeball gummies.
He told me how he will grow big while he sleeps. He told me how the gummies make his poop soft (he means the fiber gummies). I reminded him the fish oil makes him grow smart and strong.
We remembered how he learned to use Max’s scooter today, and that we bought a new one (3-wheeler) after the play date with Liam and his sisters.
He played “Star Walk Kids 2”, a learning app about the stars, planets, galaxies, constellations, and Haley’s Comet. He loves this game and has played it a lot. He gravitated towards the quizzes.
