100 hearts

this week has been quite the emotional roller coaster with the little dude starting school and experiencing riding the bus for the first time. on monday, the first day of school, i told the little dude that i was so excited for him that i had butterflies in my tummy. i then asked him if he knew what that meant, to which he replied that he didn't. i explained that when you get excited about something that sometimes your tummy feels like it's doing flip-flops and that there are butterflies flying around in it.

i thought his explanation was much better: "yeah mommy, it feels like i have 100 hearts in my body!"
