Flattery will get you everywhere

Overheard this morning:

Me: Good morning, E.! How are you?
E: (Glances at me) Good. (Does a baby double-take.)
Me: How did you sleep?
E: (Staring at me) Mommy pretty.
Me: What???
E: Mommy pretty. Mommy cool.
Me: Thank you, E. That was very nice to tell mommy that.

And what provoked this outpouring of affection? I had my hair in two pony tails on either side of my head, like a little schoolgirl. I looked a little kooky for an almost-39-year-old. But not to E. He loves me anyway. But especially with the pony tails apparently.

(I'm growing my hair out, ok? And it looks really bad. But I want it longer, so I'm just going with it for now. It's winter. I can wear hats when I need to.)

So sweet! Those are some of the moments that I'm looking forward to. Hopefully my boy will think I'm pretty too...! : ) The pony tails are a definite hit - I think I'd keep them.
