Because You Love Me

Tonight Josie and I were discussing what book to read:Me: It needs to be a short book because we are running late tonight.
Josie: How about you read a piece of a long book?
Me: Okay, that sounds fair. I will read a part of a long book.
Josie: Well, I have an idea. How about you read all of a long book because you love me.

How does one respond to that?
Conversation continues:
Josie: I want The Little Mermaid. 
Me: I don't want to read that one again. I am sick of that one. Let's pick one we have not read for a while.
Josie: No, I like this one. You come back later after I read it to myself.

Problem solved. :)

So Sweet

The other night while Josie was taking a bath I put my feet in at the end of the tub.  She asked why I did that and I said, "my feet are tired and the warm water feels good."  She then got one of the washclothes and some soap and began to wash and rub my feet.  She said she would put lotion on them later.  I sat there with tears in my eyes giving thanks for such a fantastic kid.
