medicine

lately, when I am sad 

(which has happened far more than i'd like to admit over the past year),

Beckley has learned to come up to me and sweetly say "kisses?"...

i love it.

it works every time.

well, lately, he has decided to try and apply the same tactic 

to times when i am mad, usually at him.

the other day, he had done something naughty

and he tried his "kisses?" on me.

i told him that wasn't going to work.

he tried a few times...

but, i held strong.

 he figured he better try something new and said "hugs?"

i told him that wouldn't work either.

so, then he looks at me and says

"hugs are medicine, mom"

my smile totally broke through.

that cute, and smart, little stinker.
