My little Conner.....what more can I say!

The other day my sister in law asked Conner, who is almost 7, what his favorite thing to do with me was. He said that he loved when I snuggled with him right before he went to bed. It wasn't until about a month ago that I finally understood the importance of doing this with him. During those few precious minutes that I'm laying by him he asks me about my day, tells me about his day, asks me what my favorite thing to do is, whether or not I like baseball or soccer more? We figure out math equations, spell words (which he hates) and tell stories. The amazing thing about him is he never gave up on me....how many times I turned him down because I was too tired, I really couldn't count. But, he always asks me if I will lay by him for a minute no matter what my mood is, and today I can say that I'm grateful for his persistence. Last night while I was laying by him I asked him if he thought we should have any more kids? He said, "no....but mom, how do you not have any more kids." I gulped and thought to myself, "what do I say" so I said, "well, me and dad just don't have any more kids together." That answer wasn't good enough for his young but quite mature little mind. He than says, "so...I don't get it, what,....so....you just don't drink milk?" I had to suppress the laugh with all the control I could muster. The conversation went on and all I will say is, what a wonderful conversation it was. He asked me direct questions which I answered with correct terminology and ended the conversation with the fact that the power to have children comes from heavenly father and it is to be experienced when you are married. Conner is conner and if you know him you will know what I mean. What a kid!
