Tonight while picking out a book for me to read him, John tells me "mom I want to be a kid forever, for my whole life, till I die" as I tucked him in after our story I asked why, he said "becasue I won't be able to learn new words"...I held back my tears and said "why do you think this b/c it is hard for you to say some things?"...he said "yes mommy". I asked him if he was sad about this and the tears filled his eys. I told him if he felt like crying that it is ok and asked if he needed a hug. He jumped out of bed and wrapped both arms tight around me and we hugged. We then had a little talk about how smart, creative, funny, and kind he is. We talked about how great he is doing and he is all ready for kindergarten...and he said "is this the truth?"..yes it is my love!!! "Ok mom I believe you let's say our prayers" <3 All becasued I asked him why?...love the talks my lovebugs and I have at the end of the day. And then Mary shared her excitement and fears about leaving kindergarten and going to 1st grade, can not beleive what a grown up conversation her and I had. She has grown up so much this past year and I am beyond proud of her <3
What a fullfilling day this mom had and was topped off with some heart to heart conversations with the ones I love & treasure most. So grateful for these moments and that they share so much!
