A Running Conversation

One of those "running conversations" that Stanton and I have been having for maybe the last year or so is about validation: how we all need it and want it, how it stinks when you feel someone doesn't approve, how it seems to make ourselves feel good when we do it for others, how Heavenly Father validates us, etc., etc.
That conversation has made this video all the more a treat. Thanks to my sister Lori for sharing it.


In Chloe's words:
"Mom, can we watch that again because it's all about smiling."
In Lily's words:
"Mom, are you smiling or crying?"
In my words:
"Both"
