Two Things

Two things happened today.

Cam asked me to tie his shoes. Specifically he said, "Mommy, will you tie my shoes?" He said mommy. My heart melted.

Tonight at bedtime Colin held out his arms as he was crawling into bed for me to give him a hug. He held on for a long time. And then whispered in my ear, "Mom, I really love you". My heart melted.

My boys are growing up so fast and yet they are both still so young. Today took me back years ago when nap times and sippy cups defined my days.

Sometimes it's hard to love the season that we are in. I desperately miss those sticky kisses and pudgy boy fingers wrapped around my neck.

I love my big boys but I miss my little boys too.
