Thx, Mom

I do what any doting Mom would do and praise my son for good behavior, accomplishments and anything else that isn't objectionable behavior.  So when Elliott brought home a leaf wreath, I proudly hung it over the mantle and told him how beautiful it is.  His response: " thanks, Mom."  In fact, he's taken to saying this almost every time I offer praise.  But strangely, it's hard to accept this as polite behavior (where would he have learned that from?) and instead it feels like he is above my praise and simply appeasing me.  And if he could write, I'm certain it would be spelled "thx".

I love Rachel more than...

A proclamation of love that only a Kindergartner can say with true passion:
