Seriously, I am just overwhelmed with the love I have for my kids right now. I love moments like this, where you would absolutely drop anything just to be with them and relish in…them! Devon starts Kindergarten tomorrow and is very excited. Of all the books to choose for our reading tonight, he chose I Love You Forever. I cry every time I read that, as I’m sure many of you do as well. And tonight was extra hard to read it because of school starting for the boys. I was bawling by the end. After I was done, I explained that I just love them so much and that’s why I was crying. Carson said, “Mom, when I get older I’m going to dig a pipe and have a sprinkler system just like what you and Dad have now.” I laughed and said, “Oh yah?” I was kind of expecting him to say something to comfort me a little, but I had to just be patient, because the next words out of his mouth were, “And I’m going to build a house right next door to you when I grow up.” Ahh, that’s more like it:). So sweet. Then after kissing them and tucking them in bed, I stood in the hallway and said, “Goodnight boys, I love you.” Bailey was already in her crib with her door shut and I heard her say, “Goodnight mommy.” So I said, “Goodnight Bailey, I love you.” Pause. Then, “I love you too, Mommy.” Of course I just had to go in there to hug and kiss her and snuggle for a while. So while I was smothering her, she just kept whispering, “I love you mommy.” I finally put her back down, and she just kept saying over and over, “I love you too, mommy….goodnight mommy. I love you mommy.” Very precious indeed.
Awww. What sweet kids you have.
So, so sweet. what a gift!
