Precious Moments

My youngest son is at a great age. He is always doing the funniest and often very sweet things. I just had to share.

• He was very tired one night after a movie. We didn't have his "boppy" and he was beside himself, screaming hysterically. I tried to calm him down, but nothing worked. As I was reaching across him to buckle him into his car seat, he reached up and grabbed me around my neck. He squeezed me tight, pulled me closer to him, and wouldn't let go. After a few moments, he took a deep breath and said "OK, Mommy. I'm ready to go home now." I love it when I am all that he needs.
• I was putting him to bed one night. As I was praying he reached up and gently laid his hand on my cheek. He kept it there until I said "amen". When I opened my eyes, he was just looking at my face, sucking on his two little finger, completely contented.
• Today he is practicing t-ball with his father and big brother. Big brother hit a double and was waiting on second base. Daddy told him that he needed to "hit his brother all the way home." As you may have already guessed, that was the wrong choice of words. He took his bat, ran to second base and proceeded to hit his big brother with the bat, all the way to home base. Oh the literal mind of a four year old!
