I'm melting!!

Has anyone ever said anything that makes life just stop, and it just makes you smile and leaves you in awe! Twice today, twice! Where are my defences?! I, who am made of stone, who doesn't show emotion (except to a select few)?! I have broken down in tears twice today because of two of my sweet little kids.

Peter and I were going through his dresser cleaning out the clothes that he has grown out of in the last week or two. I had him try on some pants and told him that they were to short. His eyes immediately got glossy and I asked him what was wrong, he said "Nothing." He looked on the verge of tears so I asked him why he was going to cry. "I'm not!" I said, "Babe, what's wrong?" He lost it, came and crawled in my lap, and said, "Mom, I don't want to get big!"
BAM stopped me in my tracks. Those were his favorite pants and he didn't want them to be too small. I just held him, almost on the verge of tears myself.

Because of a head cold the last couple of days I have taken advantage of Alan being home and I have taken an afternoon nap with the boys. I have written notes to Hannah and instructed her on what to do with homework and other things. It has made her very happy. Anyway, one of her homework assignments this week is to write a one page report on a woman in history or a woman in current times that has made a significant difference in the lives of others. I had written for her to think about one of these women.... Amelia Earhart…..Susan B. Anthony……Helen Keller. I woke up from my nap and she told me that she had written a "practice" biography for her assignment. I asked her who she had written about. She said, "I did it about you."
BAM another moment where the world stops and everything is in perspective and life couldn't be better.
