Special Days with a Special Boy

"You're the best Mommy ever."

Every mother has probably heard their child say this before. Today was my first time. He was sitting next to me at dinner. Then he stood up, put his arm around me, and said those sweet words. He started playing with my hair and I asked him what he was doing. He said, "I'm just lovin' on you."

I love the weekends so so much. I get to spend the entire day with my little loves. Sundays are my true favorite, though. I don't know why they feel so much different than Saturdays. He has asked me all day if we are going to church or school. This is an everyday question, anyway, but he never remembers that we get one off day. He always begs for us to go to church. If only he keeps that up his whole life. At age three, I doubt he's getting much of anything out of it other than the habit of going to church.

He was really striving to impress me today. He gave Olive, our dog, water. I learned about that when he started screaming for me. I found him standing in water in the backyard. The hose is still gushing and he explains that he tried to turn it off, but it just did this. (This reminds me of those people that drive into buildings and swear their car messed up because the harder they pressed the brake the faster it went. Ha!) I turned off the water and he started crying because he ground was getting muddy. He's a clean freak like me. I said that that happens every time it rains too. It's perfectly fine for mud to be outside. We fed her after all of the water drama was over.

He also took the trash out of the trash can and replaced it with a new bag! This is a big deal. Those things are hard to open. Hetold me that he was able to do it because it wasn't too heavy. He was completely successful too. I have such a handy little man.

I'm blessed.
