This morning, Nicholas decided he wanted to give me a few friendly pushes down the stairs. We were both sitting on the stairs at the time. He would push, and I would go down one step on my bottom. We did this until we came to the end of the stairs and I stood up. I heard Nicholas say from behind me, “You have a big bottom, Mommy.” My reply:”Well, your daddy likes my big bottom” to which Nicholas responded “Hmmm, so do I. I like your big bottom too.”

I’m not sure what to think about that compliment. I like the sentiment but I think Joel has some work cut out for him, teaching the boys how to walk the fine line of compliments.
