Today, Abby Kate and I went to Marshall's just to browse and get out of the house. We recently discovered Bobby's love language is gifts (he is not greedy, and not big things but just a little token to show he was thought of) and so I had I conversation with Abby Kate that went a little something like this...
Me: Let's look for Daddy a surprise!
AK: OK MOMMA! And Abby Kate a surprise?!
Me: Well, we will see. But lets look for Daddy. Okay?
AK: OK!
AK: What about dis? Or dis? Or dis? (all cute but not so fun surprises for Daddy)
Me: Okay, I don't see anything.
AK: (Sweetly) Now Abby Kate's surprise?!
Me: Okay, we can look...
AK: What about dis?
Me: No, that is too much money.
AK: Dis?
Me: Nope, too much money.
AK: OH MOMMA! LOOK! They are bouncies! My surprise?! PLEASE?! (it was lip gloss with the lids having springs that had a heart and star and flower at the end...one was missing and it had been clearanced to $3)
Me: Oh Abby Kate! That is perfect!
AK: I did it! My surprise! YEAH!
Me: Okay, lets go pay.
AK: MY bouncies.
Me: Oh, Abby Kate. We must not say Mine. They are yours but we must be thankful. You will need to give it to the girl to scan it and be sweet or we are not going to get it.
AK: Okay Momma! (she hands it over with a little whimpering)
Shopgirl: What a fun surprise! It is only $3. How great!
Me: Yep.
AK: THANK YOU (to the shopgirl)
Shopgirl: You're welcome
And as we are walking out of the store in FULL BLAST
AK: THANK YOU MOMMA! THIS IS SOOOOOOO GREAT!
Me: (Grinning stupidly) You are so welcome, baby sweet.
The whole way to the car...
AK: THANK YOU MOMMA!
Me: Abby Kate, every good and perfect gift comes from above. God allowed Momma to have a little extra money and it was my pleasure to buy you a surprise today. We cannot do it every day but today was so fun.
AK: THANK YOU MOMMA. (silence for a bit) THANK YOU GOD!
Me: (tearing up)
