Kitty love

I was giving away a box of Fancy Feast cans I had bought for Kitty, when Thing 3 saw that it had a picture of a kitty on it. She said, "Mow," in her tiny high-pitched voice, made the sign for kitty and leaned over and give it a hug. (She also likes to hug all the kitties she sees in books, which doubles the time it takes to read books like "Nobody's Nosier than a Cat" where there is a cat on every page.

Just a burrito

At nap time, as I tuck in Thing Two,
Me: I love you, boy.
Thing Two: But I'm just a burrito.

Roller coaster

After a day where the boys did almost nothing but bicker and fight and, specifically, 5 minutes after I broke up one of those arguments,

Thing One: I love (Thing Two). I really love him so much. I don't want him to die. I want him to live forever. I want everyone in the world to never die.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh

While feeding Thing Two before bedtime.
Me (in a whisper): Good night, baby. I love you. Loooooove you.
Thing Two (stopping eating and putting a finger in front of his mouth): Shhhhhhhhhh.

I love your hair

While trimming Thing One's hair,
Me: Did you know you have great hair?
Thing One: Yes.
Me: You do. I like your hair.
Thing One: I love your hair. I love your ponytail. I love your face. I love all your body parts. I love you.
