There’s something special about kids wanting to please their parents. Even when they are going through phases such as constantly saying, “I hate you” or throwing tantrums and such, they still, ultimately, want their parents’ approval.

Recently I went shopping with a friend and bought some clothes for myself. When I got home I told my husband, “I got some things for you. Would you like to see them?” My son said, “I want to see!” and when I pulled out the clothes he said, “That’s girls’ clothes!” I realized that he thought I meant that I had literally bought something for my husband and was confused by the fact that they were girl’s clothes. I explained that I bought the clothes to look nice for Daddy and that when you love someone you try to look nice for them. At that point he looked at me and asked, “Do I look nice?” With my heart melting, I said, “Yes, honey. You look wonderful.”

That’s what love is all about.
