a late night conversation

nathan and i have been pretty busy lately with responsibilities outside our home.  our three oldest seem to be adapting okay to us being gone a little more often, but clara is struggling a little bit.  so, last night after returning from a meeting, we decided to bring clara in to sleep with us.

she had already been in bed for a while at this point, but i gently rubbed her back and loved on her until she was awake enough to interact a little bit.

once she was awake and functioning, i asked her to give me a love.  without even a moments hesitation she simply replied, "no, you stink".

what a little turkey!
