Self esteem and the old bag of bones

My kids are so great for my self-esteem.

Today SuperGirl and Missie-Moo played a fun game that made me feel like a queen...er, a humble queen.

It started when SuperGirl said, "Mama, you're the beautifulest."
Missie-Moo added, "Mommy, you're so cute."
SuperGirl reminded me, "Mom, you're the best hugger ever."
Missie-Moo giggled,"Mommy, you're just so wonderful."
SuperGirl said, most thoughtfully, "Mama, you are just so great."
And Missie-Moo , being two and trying to be thoughtful like her sister, put her head to the side and let the wheels turn. Eyes brightening, she said, "Mommy, you're so...so...heavy!"

We all burst out laughing and Missie-Moo said, "Mommy, you are such a big girl!"
Indeed.

Easy to get on a pedestal.
Easy to get off.
