This is a conversation I had with Ayden last night at bedtime.
Mommy: Goodnight baby. I love you more than the stars and the moon.
Ayden: I love you too.
(I started to close the door while holding Jameson)
Ayden: Wait. Mommy, can I tell you something?
Mommy: Sure buddy what's up?
Ayden: I love you more. (Tears started swelling up in my eyes)
Mommy: That's impossible love...mommy started loving you before you were even born.
Ayden: Hmmmm...okay then. Sweet dreams mommy. (At this point I would have let him stay up an extra half hour with a big bowl of ice cream)
(I started to close the door again before I began blubbering like a fool in front of my kids)
Ayden: Good night brother...sweet dreams too.
Jameson: Nigh, Nigh...as he's waving goodbye.
There are times that I worry they're going to kill eachother, and then there are times like this. They make my heart overflow with love.

Awww... Thanks for sharing. How precious!
Here's MY conversation with Ayden. We were sitting on the couch side-by-side. I should add that he was watching Sponge-Bob Squarepants.
Mimi: Ayden, I love you.
Ayden: (no response)
Mimi: Ayden, your Mimi loves you very much.
Ayden: (no response)
Mimi: Ayden, could I have a kiss?
Ayden: (sigh) No.
Mimi: Awww, c'mon Ayden. I'll just DIE if I don't get a kiss.
Ayden: (no response)
Mimi: Could I just give you a kiss on your cheek?
Ayden: (exasperated) NO! I watching Pun-Bob.
I was dismissed by a 3-year-old!
I never did get a kiss.
