"When I Get Big"

Riley likes to talk about getting big. We often talk about how old he is in comparison to Chase. "When Chase is 3, I'll be 6. When Chase is 4, I'll be 7." And so on. Today he told me that I am a big girl. (Hopefully he was talking about my age or height, and not about the extra 10 pounds that still seem to be clinging to my small frame after Chase's arrival.) And I said, "Yes, I am big, but someday you'll be even bigger than me and that will make me sad." To which he replied, "Don't worry Monny, I'll still like you then." I hope that's true, Riley. I hope that's true.
