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!”

She’s such a sweet little girl!
And tell her, no, she’s not 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! =)
Hehe!! Kids say some of the most interesting things
I’m with The Angel Forever… we love our babies no matter how stinky they get and I bet Pristine is adorable no matter what she looks… or smells like!
