How much is too much?

My daughter is an avid artist. She averages at least 8 drawings and stories per day. I continue to find myself giving rave reviews and offering huge smiles with each picture she presents. The truth is that I am hiding a secret. Honestly, after so many drawings each and every day, I have grown weary and sometimes uninterested in yet another story. I am sure not to give any hint of that in my voice or expression though. I love that she has such an active and amazing imagination.

I was just pondering the question of "how much is too much"? With the first drawing/story I am genuinely interested but as the day creeps on and the drawings pile up, I find myself zoning out. There is only so much a mother can handle. Ah well, back to working (and listening to stories). :)
