i love you, that's why i protect you..

Tonight before bed, C hugs me and says..

"Mama..if you are falling off the bed, i'll protect you and save you like that.." *uses his tiny leg to try and grip my waist so I won't fall off*

I say "thank you.."

C: "I love you..that's why i protect you..."

Me: "i know.. thank you.. i'm so happy.."

C: "And I'm so happy you are at home with me mama. Thank you...... Can I smell you?? MMmmmm...nice!"

(Ha..i remember liking the smell of my mama's shirt when I was young too...we are such primal creatures at heart..)

And then he goes and breaks the tender moment by saying.."Eh..just now I said i want gonggong to put me to bed mama.. why are you here??"
