No…just a bunch….

So Ashleigh and I had an eventful day.  We went to a LLL meeting this morning, then we met friends at the playground in Laurel.  The girls had a blast playing.  Silly me forgot my camera!  Then it was nap time ;-)   Dora fell and split her lip, and Ashleigh started to melt down.  When we got home, Ashleigh refused to nap.  Figures!  She was too far gone.  So, we played and she was cranky, but that’s life with a 2 year old!  As Wes got home I was getting Ashleigh out of time out.  When she is cranky and miserable and rude, usually a time out snaps her out of it.  And, it did work, as usual.  She apologized to me, gave me a hug and a kiss and told me she loved me…the conversation went like this….

A: I love you Mommy!
K: I love you too Ashleigh!
W: How much do you love Mommy?
A: –Blank Stare–
W: Do you love her lots?
A: No
W: Do you love her a bunch?
A: Um, just a bunch. 
A: I love you a bunch Mommy
W: Not lots?
A: No, just a bunch. 

Gee, way to make me feel loved.  She is eating dinner now, and then we’ll head upstairs to prepare for bed in the next hour.  We have another long day tomorrow.
