More Than Spaghetti and Meatballs

My Zachary surprised me with his response to me telling him that I love him the other day.

He said, "I love you more."

Which prompted a game of "I love you more than..." He started by saying that he loves me more than Skittles and I responded that I love him more than gummy bears. He said that he loves me more than Super Mario which is HUGE in his world.

Then it all stopped when I said that I love him more than spaghetti and meatballs. He got quiet for a moment, looked up with that smile that lights up my world and said "Momma you must really love me lots 'cause that's the most awesome ever."

I looked into the eyes of this child who forever reminds me what love really looks like and said, "Yeah baby, Momma loves you that much and more."
