Alternate Title: Why Everyone Should Keep a 3-year-old in the House
I was standing out on the utility balcony this morning hanging a load of laundry. It is a hot and humid day, and I was sweating after just a minute of being out there. Add that on top of the fact that I've been sick all week, haven't showered in over a day, was sporting a very sloppy bed-head, and was still wearing my pajamas, and you can picture the sight.
I noticed Caleb standing in the doorway watching me work. Then, out of nowhere:
Caleb: Mom, you're really pretty.
Me: Thanks, Caleb.
Caleb: I mean, even though you don't have good clothes on, you're still really pretty.
Me: Thanks, Caleb.
Caleb: You're welcome, Mom. (and off he went to play)
I think he was probably the only person who could have given that complement in complete sincerity of heart. There really is something wonderful about having a 3-year-old!

(BTW, I'll keep him for awhile...)
Wow, how cute! That is so, incredibly sweet. I have a feeling that not only was he talking about your physical beauty, but your beautiful spirit as well! =)
