it is really so fun.
every stage of my boys lives i have wanted to freeze time and not let them get any older.
okay, maybe not when avery was 2, but other than that. :)
but each stage just gets better.
i love the relationship that we have.
i love how he prays.
i love how he leads.
i love how he is obsessed with Bible Man.
it is so fun to see him reading chapter books now.
i love seeing more and more of his personality emerging.
he has a very strong sense of right and wrong.
and it hurts this mama's heart when others aren't kind to him.
he doesn't understand it.
he is a strong willed little guy.
and there were times when he was younger that i didn't know what to do with him.
but he has chilled out...mostly.
i am seeing more and more of his daddy in him and i love that.
i usually try to send a note in his lunch box at school.
he saves every one.
last week i sent this one:
he brought it back home with a note for me on the back.
Pin It
OK, that is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. What a special little guy.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad he's still okay with being lovey-dovey with you. Gives me hope that I have a little time left with my boys before they become too cool for all that.
ReplyDeleteWow. What a sweetie! I have a 7-year-old son, too, and last night he asked me to "go to redcross dot org" so that he could donate $10 to Haiti. It just melted me, because he's been saving his allowance for four months to buy a Nintendo DSI, and $10 is a significant portion of his savings. I don't know what I did to deserve my three boys, but they just OWN me!
ReplyDeleteso sweet Katherine! I totally know what you mean about them OWNING you!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh - brought tears to my eyes and I don't even have kids. You must be doing a great job for him to be such a sweetheart. I love your blog, your attitude, and the graciousness that comes through your posts.
