mama's boy...

    
LL is not totally a "mama's boy" per say, but I certainly was soaking up the time I had with my little boy this weekend. He loved the Thomas Live show. We took one of his best friends (whose mama happens to be one of mine -- huge bonus!) and we made an adventure out of it. LL has been to Philadelphia many times (we live right outside the city limits) and loves pointing out all the huge buildings. He kept saying, "we are in the city", "look at the city"... way too cute.

Just holding his hand through the parking lot, hearing his excitement as we approached the venue and of course having him sit on my lap through the entire show was melting my heart. His little voice and all our little conversations mean the world to me. I knew his world was rocked after little l's birth and I seek out ways to always connect with him. Even though, we hit a rough part right after her birth, we are at such a wonderful place now. We figured out the right discipline for LL and where our days were filled with time-outs and tantrums, they are now filled with laughs and tiny adventures. Hearing he is a good boy and great example for other children is wonderful. He is my special little man and some times I can't believe the Lord loves me so much he gave me grace and the gift of my children.

Unfortunately, the birthday party was canceled and LL was certainly bummed. However, he did "guy things" with his daddy (home depot) after church and then went with me to my mom's (Gigi) for dinner.

Adding to my joy, my alone time with LL continued through today -- he had his checkout with the specialist (all went so well -- more on that later) and had a yummy lunch with just mama!

I love this boy...
