I was unloading my dishwasher when my son tugged at my shirt saying "sit mommy". I turned to him and said "mommy is busy honey I will play after I'm done". He tugged at me again and repeated "sit mommy". Something told me to just stop cleaning, what matters now is that your son wants your attention. So, I sat on the kitchen floor and gave him my full attention and in the end I cried. He took a hockey stick, used it as a microphone and sang me a long song. I was all smiles. At the end of the song he bowed his head several times saying "thank you. Thank you". It was the most adorable little act he has put on yet! I cheered and told him how good he was with tears in my eyes. He looks at me and says "mommy crying"? with a pout on his face. I said "yes but they are happy tears. You made mommy happy". He gets a big smile and says "mommy happy"?
Yes. I am so glad I stopped cleaning and paid attention to my little guy. I need to remember that the dirty dishes and laundry can wait. My baby will not stay a baby forever and he needs me NOW. I need him now. He makes me laugh every single day. He is an absolute joy and I thank God every day for this little being he has so blessed me with.
