Pretty Mommy

Today was a cleaning sort of day... the type of day that I don't do my hair or makeup. I let down my ponytail tonight and "stored" my clips on the side of my head until I went to bed. I was feeling quite homely, but Nolan made me feel all better. As I tucked him in, I was hurrying him along, saying "Come on, get into the covers!" He looked up at me, paused meaningfully, and said, "Oh, pretty mommy." I said, "What did you say?" (I figured I couldn't have possibly heard correctly. He looked up and said, "Mommy so pretty." I told Justin about it and then Justin asked Nolan, "How pretty is mommy?" Nolan said, "Soooo pretty!" Now that's what I call a great mom moment!

That is so sweet - and I got a good little chuckle thinging of that moment on a cleaning day - not usually a "pretty" mom day at my house!
