I just love the things Will says these days - had to jot some down so I can look back and laugh!
- Will has a loose tooth and is obsessing about it!! He keeps asking if he can wiggle it or instead of playing something he will say-"nah I just want to sit here and wiggle my tooth a little".
- When asked what he thought the tooth fairy might bring him - he said "I hope the tooth fairy will bring me two coins, so I can give one to Ellie, b/c she won't loose a tooth for a long time" He has such a sweet heart!
- Will- had a long day of fighting with Ellie, and just normal sibling stuff, lots of whining, and at bedtime I was laying with him and after telling him how important it is he listens and is is kind, I said I felt bad about how cranky I was at him that day (of course my Mom guilt kicked in that I felt like I didn't 'enjoy' my kids enough that day, but rather was nagging all day)- and he quickly reassured my mom guilt- and said you weren’t cranky mommy. I love that he knew exactly how to reassure and still my thoughts on feeling bad, when I didn't need to feel bad about it!
- Once in the car after picking Will up from school, I was reflecting and talking about how I forgot to bring his cold lunch to school one day when there was no hot lunch, and I said I was so sorry and I would try never to do that again, and he again reassured me and said- Mom it wasn’t even a big deal. I had my lunch when it was time to eat! Don’t even worry! Love him.
- Another night time talk about how the next day we would be going to Ellie's dance recital. Will said he doesn’t want to go, it's boring, and I said sometimes we do things we don’t want to for people we love. He paused for a while and really thought- and then just said “Touché mommy”.
- It's Sunday, and the kids were asking what we are doing that day - and I said we are going to church later today. And Will says, "Oh yeah, we need to Praise God!" Amen brother.
- Love during bedtime, after they are wound down, I will lay with each of them for anywhere from 2-10 minutes. Snuggled up close, holding their tiny, sweet, innocent little hands and thinking- there is nothing better in this whole entire world.
