Thursday morning, I had just taken Payton to school, we were back home getting cozy and settled in for a day at home, Conner on the couch with his big blanket and Nintendo DS, me picking up a few things in the family room, and Conner says,
"I couldn't ask for a better mom."
Wow. Totally stopped me in my tracks. It was so out of the blue.
I said, "Ahhh, that's so sweet Conner, thanks. {hug} Why do you say that?"
"Well, some moms let their kids play video games whenever they want and the moms do all the work for them. But you have rules because you want us to do chores and other things that help prepare us to be moms and dad and good parents."
"Well, you are a very smart boy. That is a great perspective to have."
{I do have to admit that he spent a large chunk of the day playing his Nintendo DS. But in my mind it was completely warranted as washome sick from school.}
I am thankful for this boy who knows my love language.
--------------------------
I just took the test again to see if my love language has changed or stayed the same since the last time I took it a few years ago. Yep, still the same. My top three (12 is the highest)
- 10 - Words of affirmation
- 8 - Quality time
- 7 - Receiving gifts
