Love You Forever

One of my all time favorite children's books is Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. It's about a mother and her love for her baby as he grows and sometimes does things that drive her crazy throughout the day.

At night she always says,
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living,
My baby you'll be.

The cover of the book shows the baby making a huge mess in the bathroom. It reminded me of my baby and the mess I found when I got out of the shower yesterday. Toilet paper everywhere. And a soaking wet baby who had spent half the time with his head poking in the shower before he moved onto mess making elsewhere. The similarities were striking.

I love my little mess maker.
