oh how i feel for her future husband….
My little girl and I (she’s four) have this silly little game we play. I start by saying, “I love you more than chocolate!” to which she answers “I love you more than chocolate, too!” She then will say something like, “I love you more than Barbies!” and I’ll repeat it back to her. We played yesterday and here’s what transpired:
Me: “I love you more than KitKats!”
Her: “I love you more than KitKats too!”
Her: ” I love you more than a pretty flower!”
Me: ” I love you more than a pretty flower too!”
Me: ” I love you more than a great pair of shoes”
Her: long, uncomfortable pause. ” Umm. I love you more than that mirror.”
Me: “WHAT? You don’t love me more than a great pair of shoes?!”
Her: “Sorry, mom…”
And I guess what broke my heart the most is that in this season in her life, a great pair of shoes to her is a pair of $3 Flip Flops from Shoe Show…But a warning to you future suitors? You’d better have a fat wallet or a grandpa named Minolo Blahnik, cause Shoe Show ain’t gonna cut it for long with this girl…
BTW – She told me she was kidding, and she really meant it.
I think.
What can I say that girls got a good head on her, shoes mmm glorious shoes. had a good chuckle. love always me
How I love it! Especially as a mom of sons, I love a peek to the “other side.”
Lisa the 2nd…
OUCH!
My daughter isn’t a shoe girl. (Like mother, like daughter. I can’t bring myself to spend more than $17.99 on a pair of shoes.)
But I can only imagine what would happen if I were to say I love her more than her ballerina outfit.
I’d rather not go there.
LOL!!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
A girl after my own heart!! teehee
My baby girl is the same way. At age 3 we were shoe shopping and I tried on a pair of very sparkly shoes and she goes – at 3 mind you – “Mom you are SO gettin’ those shoes!!” I about flipped!!!
I love how creative God is in giving us these sweet little ones!! Thanks for sharing that!
LOL!!! Oh my word I’m dying!!!!
Confession – that might be (I mean…might have been) me :)
PS – via Mandy’s blog, I would love to join your tambourine band with my closest egg shaking band days :) LOL!
Oh bless! My little 4 year old when replying to “I love you up to the moon, stars etc” said to me “well I love you, Mummy, all the way up to God!” WOW!
Anyway, sending you lots of love, Del xxx (9 1/2 weeks!)
Cute! That girl knows what’s important. (Just kidding!)
I am having shoe shopping withdrawals right now!
I did actually know that he had a blog. the last i checked i saw the pics of his son getting married. i comment on it but i am with you i think that the guys must not check it much!!
:)
I started listening to him in 2000 and I have been hooked ever since!!
He has had a HUGE influence on my walk. Glad to see a fellow alabama girl! I will be checking in with you blog!! :)
the last post is hilarious! my daughter is already a shoe and clothes lover it is really scary since she is 2! She will sleep in her shoes if I let her. LOL!
She’s definitely going to be a fashion diva, isn’t she?!
Our game is to see who can love each other “more”. We usually start with “I love you 1,000 green m&m’s” (they’re the best, you know) and go from there.
You & the Preacher are gonna’ have your hands full with this one!
Classic girl moment! Love it!
That is too cute. My little sweetheart and I play a game sort of like that. It is fun when you can see all that love in their eyes looking back at you. Makes life so wonderfully worth it all.
Hi, de-lurking here. I think. I can’t remember if I posted a comment before. Anyway! I’ve enjoyed reading your blog, I found you through my friend Etta.
I just bought my 2.5 yr old new shoes today and she could not stop looking at them as she walked! Girl after my own heart! :)
I love it!!! Oh no, she just will need a house with big closets!! :) What a trait!
Too cute! My grandson uses the line “I love you hundred-much.” To which I reply “I love you thousand-much” … and on we go.
Precious memories.
And come on now…shoes, makes sense… LOL
girl…. get that tambourine ready!
he he
:)
She is so funny!!!! Hope you are doing well! Blessings!
That is too cute!
