Layla and Cooper are best buds...because they have no choice. It's just the two of them and we live in the middle of nowhere. Layla is now at the age which she doesn't always want to be with Cooper. Cooper, on the other hand, will wait outside her closed bedroom door until she decides she's ready to play with him.
Today, while we were driving to school, Cooper said, "Layla, why don't you like to talk to me? Do you love me or not?"
To which Sis answered, "Bud, I love you always and like you most of the time."
There was silence and I could tell Cooper was processing. Then he said in a very matter-of-fact voice, "Alright Lol."
More silence.
"Tomorrow will you like me always?" Coop asked.
"We'll see, Bud."
"Alright."
It was such an honest conversation. If only I could communicate that openly and accept honest feedback with such resiliency.
