If you're not having a good day, all you need is a dose of Evan to help you out.
Mom: Evan, why did you throw your food? (or hit your brother, or jump in the mud puddle, or run away from me,...)
Evan: Mom, you happy?
Mom: No, right now, I am not happy that you threw your food.
Evan then squishes my face between his hands and gives me a kiss. I, of course, immediately now have a grin on my face.
Evan: Mom, you happy!!!
Mom: Yes, Evan, I'm happy! (How could I not be now!)
Now, Evan does not only do this when I'm disappointed. If I giggle, smile, give him a kiss, play with him, let him have an extra snack, etc...his face will beam as he exclaims to everyone "Mommy's happy!" And luckily for me, I get to hear it a lot.
I love that it takes my three year old to help me realize how happy I really am.
Yes, I'm happy.

日本の誰かがあなたを愛しています
It's so funny you posted about this! Ethan does the exact same thing. He asks us all the time "Are you happy or mad?" And when he's doing something and I start cheering him on (like using the potty), he says "Mommy, you're getting really happy!" It is so cute.
You happy Andrea?
I love it.
I am going to use it!
That Evan. I love him too!
Je souhaite que mes enfants aient été comme préoccupés par mon bonheur. Chanceux vous. Au moins nous savons avec Evan autour de vous serons toujours heureux.
Had to do it after Rob did it in Japanese. At least you can understand what I wrote.
My translation: I wish my children were as concerned about my happiness. Lucky you. At least we know with Evan around you will always be happy.
Very Cute! It's so wonderful to have these little ones to remind us of this. By the way...I would still love to do your blog if you want.
How sweet is he! He is in a big boy seat! I guess it is time for me to put Emma in a booster. Poor kid is still riding in her 5 pt harness one. I baby her SOO much!
