Sweet Moments With My Boy

Since Rhev was a baby he has always been a "Mommies boy". He is so sweet and so protective of his Mommy. There are many times when I will be busy doing something or when I'm obviously preoccupied with something, that Rhev will come into the room, grab me, pull me down close and say "Mom, I love you". Then he always kisses me on the cheek and goes off to do what ever he was doing. I can't tell you how much those sweet moments mean to me. He knows just the way to help me focused on what is really important and not so much on unnecessary things. There are other times when we'll be sitting on the couch watching TV that he'll come over and ask if he can lay on my lap. I will be the pillow. He'll lay his head on my lap and wrap his little arms around my leg and hug me close. He knows just the way to love his mom. I fear the day he grows up and finds out that moms just aren't that cool. When his friends tell him moms are embarrassing and not cool to have around. Until that time, I am going to love and savor every special moment I can get with him.

Last night was one of those sweet nights. He came home from Luke Grandmas, dirty as can be from a fun full day of playing with cousins, baseball games, and the park. He could tell I had missed Trayvn and him like crazy, so he climbed up onto my bed, into my arms and just talked. He told me about his whole day. Never once did he try to get up and go do something else. Then Grandma came into the room and told him it was time for a bath (which he loves) and he said he didn't want to because he was snuggling his mom. It took me a while to convince him that he was the dirtiest little boy in the world and he desperately needed a bath. He happily went in had his bath and came right back to me, all soft in his pajama's. We said prayers, Trayvn went to bed, and Rhev and I just snuggled together and finished watching a movie I had started. He laid there so sweetly with me until his dad got home an hour later. Then he simply kissed me on the cheek and said it was time for him to go to bed.

I am so grateful for the sweet moments I been blessed with. Nobody in the world knows what their future holds, but I do know that no matter what, these little moments I've been able to have with my boys will be moments that will always impact me forever. I'm so blessed to have these sweet sacred moments.
