I’m your favorite

Today as I get Clair out of the bath she said to me “you are the best Mommy in the world!”

I’ll admit she says this a lot. I love it, but try not to feed into it. 

I respond with a big smile, “And you are the best Clair Bear in the whole wide world!”

Clair looks at me and says hopefully and expectedly, “But you love me the most if all your kids right?!”

I get down to her level and look her in those beautiful blue eyes as I dry her off and try to explain, “I have a special place in my heart for Ellie, Max and You. I love you all to the end of the world and forever. “

Clair looks at me and says, “But mommy I cuddle you the best and the most, so you should love me the best. “

All I could do was to laugh and smile.
