The Joys of Parenting....the sweet moments.

So I thought I would share just a couple of things that Ian has done that I thought were just so sweet. One day while reading to him, he pointed to the crease in my thumb and said, "you okay mommy?" as if he thought it was a cut. When I told him I was okay, he said, "oh, okay mommy." How sweet and thoughtful is that? :)

Then, another time I was sitting in the car waiting on Elyse and I rested my head on the head rest of the seat and Ian says, "your tummy hurt, mommy?" After I told him I was okay he again said, "oh, okay mommy." He is such a sweetie so concerned if I'm feeling okay.

My last story I'm going to share is kind of a corny one, but yet so cute. Justin was away on a job and I heard Ian coming down stairs and he comes into our bedroom and hops onto our bed. After I feel no movement on the bed, I open my eyes and I see Ian staring at me. I quick close my eyes in hopes that he would lay down and fall back asleep just for a moment because I wasn't quite ready to wake up. After there was still no movement, I opened my eyes to see if he fell asleep but yet again Ian was still staring at me. I asked him if he was okay and he said "yeah mommy." Then I closed my eyes again (still hoping he would just lay down for a minute) but then he said, "Mommy, I love you." I about melted while the entire time he was sitting there staring at me he must have been thinking something along those lines.

These are the moments that make parenting so much fun. When you know you are making them feel loved and they are reciprocating it back. :)
