Nightly Talks with Savannah

I've probably put Savannah to bed at least 1900 times and every time it's a little bit different of an experience.  The first 365 times consisted of nursing and rocking.  Then we added books.  Then we moved from reading in the rocker to reading in her big girl bed.  About two years ago, before we would say goodnight, we started talking about our favorite parts of our day.  This talk has turned into quite lengthy conversations that trail off into random discussions and last way longer than I ever intended them to.

Most conversations I quickly forget but every now and then we have one that I hope to never forget.  Here's a recent one that still makes me giggle:

Savannah: Mommy how did you know to marry Daddy?
Me: Well, we got to know each other really well and after a long time we decided we wanted live together and get married and have you and Walker.
S: but how did you know you wanted to live with him?
M: we had a lot of fun together and we wanted to do the same things
S: but how will I know who to marry?
M: when you get older and meet more more people, you'll find someone who you really like
S: but how do I know which one?  There's soooooooo many to choose from?
M: (trying really hard to not laugh) yes, there are a lot but you'll find someone that you like to be around and that you have fun with
S: but how do I know???  What if I like lots?
M: (still holding in laughter) yes, you will probably like lots but after a while most of them will get on your nerves and you won't like them anymore so you'll be left with one who doesn't bother you as much as the others (i'm trying to wrap up this conversation)
S: oh ok then.  goodnight mommy

Phew, we made it through our first girl-boy relationship conversation.  I only hope they stay this easy.  Wishful thinking, I know.
