the awesomest

After a big, busy day, Tuck was deliriously tired.  I pulled the covers to his waist and scratched his back.  I told him he's my favorite four year old.  He said things like Mom, I love you the most, you're awesome, you're the best, and I answered in kind, saying I love you more than the most and you're better than the best.  And then he said I love you the awesomest.

And I said that right back to him, because I do.  I love him the awesomest.  I always will.
