I only have a quick minute.. but I wanted to jot this down before I forgot what he said...
Just now Tom came to me and said, "Mom, you're the best mom ever. Do you know how I know you're the best mom? Because you are kind and take care of us and are firm." Brooke pipes in and says, "What does firm mean?" Tom responded with, "It means that she is kinda strict and makes us follow the rules." So, using this mom moment, I asked, "Why do you think I am firm?" Without skipping a beat Tom responded, "Because you love us and want us to be happy." Brooke added, "And you want us to be safe." :) These are the moments that I stop wondering (if only for a second) if I am doing an okay job... too bad that Nicole missed this exchange, especially since I think she has really been feeling 'one against the world' lately.
