It's 8pm at night, Brennen has been laying in bed already for a half an hour.
"Mama? Mama?"
"Yes, Bren?" coming down the hall
"I need a drink..."
(Got the drink, even though I know he's stalling.)
"Go to sleep, Bren."
5 minutes pass...
"Mama? MAMA?"
"What, Brennen?"
"I need a tissue!"
"Okay, here... Go to sleep Brennen!"
10 minutes pass... (Of course I think he's sleeping by now.)
"MAMA! MAAAAMMAAAA!"
"WHAT, BRENNEN NATHAN! No more talking!
I'm not getting you anything else! What IS it?"
whispers:
"Can you wuv me just a tiny bit?"
Silent pause.... Guilt.... Adoration.... LOVE...
Sigh.
"Yes, Brennen, I will love you for a tiny bit."
So, I cuddle him and he falls asleep in one minute.
And I get one more undisturbed minute to stare at his three year old face.
I love him to the moon and back.

That is sooo precious.
HA...that was so cute. I totally get the tissue request as well. I seriously love those snuggle times and gazing into Kai's big doe eyes.
It's impossible to say no when they're just so stinking sweet!! :)
