Pristine came back sweaty and stinky from school after an activity and I greeted her at the front door with kisses and hugs, like I’ve not seen her in 50 years.
Pristine: “Wait, wait, mama! I’m stinky!”
Me: “Well I don’t care if you’re stinky, I still love you, stinky or not!”
And I continue wrestling her while she wriggles her way out to the bathroom. That night we talked.
Pristine: “Mama, am I still stinky?”
Me: (inhaling the smell of her hair) “No, you smell so nice, not stinky at all.”
Pristine: “Ma, can you promise me you won’t kiss and hug me when I’m stinky? It’s yucky.”
Me: “Oh no, even if you’re the stinkiest girl in the world, I will still kiss you, hug you and love you forever! Do you know that?”
Pristine: “Uhm…I don’t know…I don’t know if I am the stinkiest girl in the world!”

How sweet! I CAN’T relate since I have two boys 4 and 6 🙂
Altho they do like to put Axe bodyspray on – they call it ‘sauce’.

Love this post 🙂 Moms will always love their babies no matter how old and stinky they get. Please remind me of this when my boys are covered in dirt and sweat ok?!

What a cutie!
Today I saw a little girl at church. She was a few rows ahead of me and kept looking back and smiling at me. She reminded me of Pristine and her pretty smile! =)
