I posted earlier about being sick and home alone with my 2 kids, and WOW what an amazing little boy I have!! He spent his morning playing with his baby sister and even attempted to change her diaper! He brought me drinks, because he wanted me to rest, and even made me a sandwich with some pretzels :) what wonderful things has your kids done lately:)
@kj my son will come up to me and say "mom I have a secret...your pretty and gorgeous!" Oh it melts my heart!!!
My sweet 11 year old always brings me his prized pillow pet and his teddy bear to lay with me when I don't feel good, and a blanket to cover me.
The best thing that he does though, is after every single meal, he says "thanks for dinner, mom" (orbreakfast, lunch, etc)
Just last night after my son and I nearly got t-boned we were at Burger King getting dinner he leaned over and patted my arm telling me, " It's ok mommy we didn't get hit. It's ok." Then he gave me a big hug and kiss. He knows when to say the right thing at the right moment. Even this morning when we woke up he asked, "Did you forget about what almost happened to us last night?" I had said, "Ya I did." Then he gave me a big smile and a big hug. He is the sweetest boy ever! I love him so much.
On Weds we went to church. The sermon was about kids forgiving their fathers. I got pretty teary thinking about my boys and how their bio-dad has been non-existent in their lives, and how I hope they can forgive ME for not having the most stable life up until the last year (based on my crappy relationship track record).
Okay, to be honest, I sobbed. I didn't mean to...it just all poured out. I was having a God moment. I've recently married the most wonderful man, and he is the BEST dad to the boys...but that doesn't take away the past, you know? So I was just praying that my boys could forgive me.
My youngest (almost 10) was sitting to my left and, after watching me leaning against my husband, scooted in close to me and leaned against me.
My love language is physical touch. I can't tell you how much it meant to me that my son was able to love on me using my love language. ♥
Later, he came into the kitchen and just put his arms around me. Didn't say a word. Then an "I love you, mom." before bed.
Hmmm. just yesterday, my 14 yr old son was being "tude-y"... I called him on his poor attitude and he went outside for a short while. When he came back inside, he came straight over to me and reached out his arms for a big old hug.
He apologized in his own way. And he has always been sensitive. All was well, and the attitude was gone. :)
OMG. I love that! So cute. My kiddos amaze me daily. I love them so much!!!! I think the most cool thing ever is when your little one comes up and tells you "Mama, I love you so much. If there were all the Mama's in the world lined up, I would pick you every time, over and over. Your the best Mama in the world. No one could ever make me love another." Soooo cute. Or when they come up and want to sit in your lap. I just love every day that I can spend with my kids. They mean the world to me. I have a journal that I keep that I write the highlight of my day with each of my children and my husband. Its my blessing book and it reminds me that life is short and to enjoy ALL of the moments. My kids are so helpful. They will do anything I ask---if my little one wants to sweep, his brother will step up and say :me too~! So they work together and enjoy helping. It makes them feel proud and confident. I love them so much.
mine know how much i love having someone touch my hair and they will always offer to play haidresser and have them do my hair. i know they do it for me. and it's so sweet. in return i play dreaded 'tea parties' with them :)
Yesterday early in the morning my mom called to let me know that a very dear aunt died, my 6 years old son was next to me, when I hang up I started crying very hard and my son got very worried, then he stated you need a big hug and he hugged me for some time letting me cry in his arms. It was the sweetest and best thing that I could receive at that moment.
My kids are with their dad for a few days, but have called numerous times "just to check in" and end the conversation with "love you mom". Did I mention they're teenagers??? and are too far away to follow-up with something they need so its just sweet and makes me smile
My kids do things like that too.
Well my kids, each morning, no matter where I am in the house (I always wake earlier than everyone and am toiling away already before they wake up), my kids will always wake up, then come find me no matter where I am in the house and tell me "good morning Mommy... " and they give me a BIG hug & kiss and tell me "I love you, you're the best..." and then they go and get ready for school.
Its so cute.
Aw, how sweeeeeetttttttt. Sounds like you've raise him well!
My daughters always like taking care of me when I'm sick too. When I was sick last week they accompanied my husband on a trip to the store to get me some jello & things like that and picked out and convinced my husband to buy me some really comfy fuzzy gel type socks. They're so soft & comfy I live in those socks now. They made sure to get them in blue - my favorite color. My youngest daughter, who's 5, will read me stories & bring me one of her stuffed animals to keep me company.
Paid a bill on time.
My 3 year old son, almost everyday tells me "momma your pretty" or
"momma I love you." I Love it!! My two daughters will give me a hug and a kiss and tells me that they love me. :)
