Mom and I had just finished reading my nap time book- and everything was going great! Then it starts, as it always does, she is hugging me, kissing me, drooling all over me! Then we have this conversation:
Mommy- Chase, do I say “I love you” too much?
Chase- Yes.
Mommy- Would you like me to stop saying it so much?
Chase- Ummm… no. thank you.
The good news is she realizes that she smothers me. The bad news is, she doesn’t seem to care- and there is no way to stop her. If I had said “Yes, I would like you to stop.” She just would have been sad- then I would have had to do something cute to make her happy. It is exhausting! She is so needy!
Just like this morning, we are cuddling on the couch, talking and laughing. Then, she starts kissing me again! So, I sat up- and again, she asks me-
Mommy- Chase, do I kiss you too much?
Chase- Yes. (Not that it matters what I say.)
Mommy- Would you like me to stop kissing you so much?
Chase- No, Mommy. I like your kisses.
I think she just likes having this conversation with me now. It seems to make her very happy- and it is Christmas time. It’s the least a guy can do. And, I do like her kisses, hugs and the nice things she says to me (I could do without all of the negative, discipliney stuff she says). But she gets so mushy over me all of the time! I just want to play! Sometimes, I just have to tell her, “That is NOT a great idea Mommy!”
Women!
Chase.
