Eavesdropping on Ethan: Dancing and Daddy

E: "Mommy! I know my stop light colors."

Me: "Oh yea?" [unimpressed, he's known those for, like, a year.]

E: "Red means stop, green means go, yellow means slow... and orange means DANCE!!" [and starts breaking out his ultimate white boy moves]

[giving Ethan a hug after he wakes from a nap...]

Me: "I love you buddy"

E: "Mommy... I'm going to wear a shiny sparkly ring on this [his middle!] finger because I loooooove DADDY!"

Me: [pause...confused, and admittedly a little rejected...then I get it!]

"Do you mean you want to wear a wedding band like Mommy does because she promised to love Daddy forever?"

E: "Yes! I neeeed a wedding band ring too! Because I LOVE Daddy!!"

Now how can I feel anything but happy about such a sweet, honest moment!
