I am SO in love...! (page 3)

Although it makes me sad to hear Sassy and Dansk stories, it is nice to hear such heartwarming tales of our children. I know that I can not imagine what my life would be like without my son - and I hope he ends up with children like Mulan's grandchildren!

For what it is worth, I have tried to write down nearly everything he has said or done that has made me laugh or made me feel so loved because I loved reading the stories my mother saved of me! I hope someday he will enjoy them, too....

Keep 'em coming!

My dad taught me the value of a good, strong hug. .

My 12-year old son will search me out at night for a hug before bed. (It kinda amazes me, actually.) Often I joke around, "Oh, I looooooove yoooooou!" and act dramatic somewhat. He laughs and hugs back. Sometimes he comes in, acting like I do, "Oh, I looove yoooou!"

My younger son I hug hard before sending him off to school: I pick him off the ground in a death squeeze. He loves this, and likes to leave, sputtering... ( My husband confessed later that the first time I ever hugged him, he was left gasping...)

My daughter melts my heart by climbing in my lap, taking my head in her hands, and putting up her lips to kiss mine, saying "I wuv you, mommy!" She can finally say this after 4 years... it was a long wait to hear this, and I waited to hear this. Oh yes, she also climbs into bed with me and we play "snuggle bunny" and "blanket fort". These things happen often still, and I cherish these things best.

My almost 2yr old carries around this old blankey. She likes to put it in her ear, her nose, and mouth. She cries if she cant find it. I have never had a baby do this, so for me its cute.

My daughter will be 3 in a few months. The other day, she thought I was sad about something and she came up and said, "Mommy it be ok."

Now, when she thinks she has 'trouble' coming or she spills, she says, Mommy I make a mistake, Mommy I lub you.

Too smart.......knowing those "I lub you"s put a smile on my face.....

My 12 year old daughter tolerates me.....

I hear you ! LOL

OK I have a nice story to tell now for a change.

Everday at 3:30 my cell phone rings, and I can tell by caller ID it's my son, home from school.

Traditionally the conversation consists, of him asking if he can go out and play, or go on the computer. My response is to query him about whether he has homework, and have he and his sister completed their chores? I always get a no to the homework and a yes to the chores, which I discover is usually not the case when we get home.

So lately, I have been telling him he has to wait until we get home to confirm everthing is so. ( 1 hour ) From there the conversation deterioates to a one sided shouting match. Him getting all sullen, then argumentative. Me calmly replying form my cubicle, trying not to lose my patience.

This afternoon my cell rings at 3:30, and I groan inwardly. I don't want to be verbally beaten up by an 11 year old. I don't answer. 10 seconds later, my direct line rings. He's stalking me. If I don't answer, he call my pager next, then repeat the cycle. I answer the phone.

He sounds upbeat. "Hello Dad, want to hear something good?" Sure. "I got a letter from my teacher today, want to hear it?" Sure. "It reads Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith xxxx has shown a remarkable improvement in class the past little while, and I thought you should know that, and I hope he keeps up his good work and behaviour for the rest of the school year" signed Mrs. xxxxxxxxx"

"Does that make you feel happy Dad"? Yes son, it makes me extremely happy, how does it make you feel? "It makes me feel real good. I'm going to do my chores now, then deliver my flyers, and I will see you when you get home. I love you Dad, goodbye"

If I had ignored that call, I would have missed that precious moment.

There is hope.

and I was just about ready to get jealous!

I was babysitting the other night at their house, for an hour, and when his parents came home and into the room where we were, he had his arms around my neck, face pressed into mine, and had just told me he didn't have enough time with me that night.

You two looked so cute. He is a real sweetheart. He likes to go to school on his own now. That consists of walking through a church parking lot and crossing the street (crossing guard attended) to the school. He still wants me to drop by his classroom before school starts for a hug and kiss though. He usually yells "I love you mom!" as I'm walking away. I'm not sure how long that will last but I think it will be a few years. He doesn't care much about what the other kids think.

My daughter tells me she loves me all the way up to God. Or she says "I love you so, so, so, so, so much". She is five.

XJW, that is such a nice experience!!!!

And Sassy, yes, she misses you when you don't come see her.......and she hates it when you leave.

I am SO in love...!
