Micah has been working on hearts lately, and due to the recent Mother's Day holiday, lots has been centered around Mom. I'm not upset about it :) He came to me the other day with this drawing, and while the hearts just look like big "M's" it melted my own heart just a little bit. I love this little boy and his sweet, sweet spirit.
Last Friday I was having a rough day - it had been a long week and lots of renovations had taken place in our house with our built-ins being installed. The boys had had to stay out of the main room all week, due to installation (2 days) and paint (2 days) and it was getting tiresome. Top it off with Christian gone both Wednesday and Thursday, missing what was supposed to be an easy girls night away for me on Thursday night, and I was stressed. We also had our big 2nd/4th birthday party combined with our housewarming party this past weekend, so lots to get ready for for that. All that background to say that Friday I was feeling overwhelmed/stressed/tired and impatient. I cried a few times throughout the day, as little things set me off, and Micah was not happy I was crying. "Please don't cry, Mama. Please don't cry." "It's okay, Mama. Please don't cry." I told him I was just having a sad day and that I'd be okay, and he would just hug me and say, "Please don't cry." After his nap, he came downstairs and the first thing he did was run over to me and give me a big hug and say "I'm sorry you're having a sad day, Mama." Seriously, this boy's heart is wide open for empathy and love.
