Heavy

For Ryan, there is no greater compliment to his being than "Wow, Ry you're really heavy!" or "Oh, Ryan, I can barely pick you up, you're so heavy."

To which he responds, "Yeah, Mom, I real heavy!"

Today at the store, he kept fussing with my hand on the shopping cart. Finally he grunted, then smiling with delight at his own thoughtfulness, "Wow Mom! You real heavy, Mom! You heavy MOM! You so big! AHHH!"

Yes, Ryan thought that describing me and 'heavy' and 'big' would do wonders for my self esteem.
