This morning Tony walked by me and said, "Mom, you count."
I thought about this for a moment and felt warm all over. Doesn't everyone need to hear this from time to time? I matter to someone! I count for something in his book!
As I sat there, feeling loved and appreciated, he came back by and repeated it: "Mom, you count, I'll hide."
Oh. I get it. I needed to hear the rest of it to understand exactly what he was getting at.
Ah, well. Playing hide and seek with your 3 year old is just another form of affirmation, is it not? I'll take what I can get.
