Sweetness or Sabotage?

After church on Sunday, I was upstairs helping Wade change out of his church clothes. Making conversation I asked him if he enjoyed Primary today? He nodded his head in affirmation. The last couple weeks he hasn't wanted to go to class, which is a new thing for Wade to do. Maybe it's a stage, maybe it's the change of time of day, or maybe it's the new teachers. So I asked him if he liked his Primary teachers. He nodded yes again (you can see he got his conversation skills from his dad.)

"They're super nice, huh?"
Another nod.

"I'm glad you like them Wade."
Another nod. But then wait...he speaks:
"But I still love you the most mom."

As my heart melted I couldn't help but give him a big hug and reply "I love you the most too." Was that why he always wanted to stay with me or Dave, he didn't want us to think he liked his friends at church more than us? Of course we love our family the most. What a sweet thoughtful little boy I have, but wait...he speaks again:

Running to the stairs he yells down "HEATH! MOM LOVES ME THE MOST!"

That little weasel, how did I get tricked into that.

Now it starts a lifetime of trying to prove your are the favorite. Remember when you made me that stick ornament for plants in Young Women's? You scribble painted it to see if it was true a mother loved anything you make her. They do!
