Our Love Discussion

Often when I put the kids to bed we think of things to numerous or far away, to imagine, to say "I love you more than". Yesterday on our way home from grocery shopping Wesley pipes up out of the blue and tells his siblings "you know Mom loves me all the way to the moon". Eric, not to be out loved chimes in "yea and she loves me to the stars". I add in "and I love Tyler to the Sun and Josie to Pluto". Well that started a 20 minute discussion that contained things such as "Mom, Pluto is a dwarf planet and Josie is not a dwarf so why do you love her like that". And "Mom the Sun is not really that far away so how about if you love Tyler to somewhere farther". Obviousally my mistake was to individualize. I guess when it comes to Mama's love it is best to use all the same words. Eric finally put and end to it by saying "Mom how about if you just love us all to heavens roof and back". Good answer Eric. That is so vast and infinite and that is how much I love each of our 4 fantastic children.
