Do you tell your kids that you love them every day? I do! We have a little fun with it too.
Me: “I’m going to tell you something you don’t know.” Dramatic pause. “I love you!”
Alyssa, Alex or Andy (any one or all): “I knew that!”
Me: “No you didn’t!”
Their response: “Yes I did!”
Me: “How did you know?”
Them: “Because you tell us every day.”
Their responses usually carry the tone of frustration. It’s like SERIOUSLY MOM, YOU DO THIS ALL THE TIME. I’M NOT STUPID. I KNOW THIS! That’s OK with me. It’s “our” thing. It’s how we roll. We have fun and there isn’t a doubt in my kids’ minds as to whether I love them or not.
We recently watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. There is a scene in the movie where Mr. T wants his son to know that he loves him. The son’s response, “Dad, you tell me every day.” Tim & I immediately looked at each another. I’m not the only one.
Alex has tried to put his own twist on it as well.
Me: “I love you.”
Alex: “I love you more.”
The other two have picked up on it as well. We each go back and forth NO, I LOVE YOU MORE.
It’s our thing. It’s how we roll. We enjoy it. That’s what matters.
I LOVE YOU… MORE!!!

That is so neat that you all do that. I think most of the time people sometimes just take it for granted and just don’t say it enough. Even though you know that you are loved it makes a person feel so much better when you hear it. Maybe more when we get older.
We love you all, hugs and kisses!!!!!
