a few years ago, while tucking my then 5 yr old son into bed, he said to me
"i love you sometimes......and, this is a sometimes."
occasionally, each and every one of us are blessed with those precious moments in life we need to remember. this was one of them. after leaving his room that night, i quickly found his baby book to write it down and i am so glad i did. we all need to remember those special moments that make our heart sing.
the other night, we both brought this past conversation up again. i asked him, now my 8 yr old, "if he remembered years ago about 'sometimes'" and "if this was a sometimes"? he quickly responded "yes.....this is a sometimes mommy". he then preceded to tell me...."but, not when you are yelling, or mad at me"... oh, my dear ry guy, you are so right....i am hard to love sometimes. i will try harder :0)

....so, what are you especially thankful for today?!:)
Awww. Ry- you are so damn sweet. I remember that day when you first said that to your mom. I'm glad you are still sooo honest :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post! So neat that google led you to our blog post about being thankful for poison ivy! While Harrison has never had a case of the stuff, he does have a knack for finding the positive in all situations. So neat how God uses my kids to teach me! I hope your little guy gets over his poison ivy soon!
