how about yes - bedtime on 9/11/11

how about yes is:

...my attempt at capturing Arissa's precocious moments

...a way for me to share them with family & friends

...Arissa's response to "how about no?"

bedtime on 9/11/11

M: I’m giving you extra hugs tonight.

A: Why?

M: There are a lot of people who are sad today, because some bad people hurt a lot of other people on this day a long time ago. And they can’t give hugs to their kids and mommies and daddies anymore. So it is a sad day, but it is also a special day because there were a lot of people who helped other people that day, too.

A: How many people died?

M: A lot…

A: Like a hundred?

M: 3,000.

A: So you’re giving me 3,000 hugs?

M: Yes.
