Our Day...

I love the little moments in a day...

Today:

Cannon is sick. Carter has been extra sweet with him & doting on him. After a trip to the doctors we are now armed with two antibiotics. Hopefully he starts feeling better soon.

I maintain that some of the best money I have ever spent is on Lego's. Carter especially plays with them for hours! However, I often times get tired of cleaning them up. So, today I put a pile of macaroni on the floor & turned on the vacuum... Carter was in the other room & could hear the macaroni being vacuumed up & came running! When he asked me what I was vacuuming up I told him it was his Lego's!!! Holy smokes he had a melt down!!! But, I don't think I will have to ask him to clean up his Lego's when he is done playing with them again! And yes, I did feel a little guilty!

McKay came home from school today thinking he could speak Chinese... he was talking to Carter in his "Chinese" & it just kept frustrating Carter. So, after I heard Carter ask McKay to stop & after McKay did not stop... The Mother had to get involved! I heard McKay again speak his "Chinese" to Carter & I called McKay into the office & told him he was grounded for swearing at Carter! He was totally confused & I told him that I Googled the Chinese words he was using & that he was swearing at Carter! He didn't know what to think! He had to go & apologize to Carter & I don't think we will have a language barrier at our house anytime soon!

We downloaded new songs onto the boys Ipod's yesterday. They both had a couple new songs that they wanted. I put the new song "I Won't Let Go" by Rascal Flatts on McKay's & told him that if he was ever sad or having a bad day that I wanted him to listen to the song & know that it was from me. He ran off to listen to his new songs on his bed & a little while later I went into check on him... only to find him bawling!!! Completely doing the ugly cry where you have a hard time breathing kind of crying!!! He had listened to the Rascal Flatts song & was convinced that he never wanted to leave me! I was so touched to see how much it had meant to him! I did have to explain to him that I gave it to him to make him happy & not sad! And after he worked through his emotions he finally fell asleep in my arms! What a sensitive little man he can be! Something my heart will always remember.

Right now I am loving watching Carter dance to Michael Jackson out of the corner of my eye! He is dancing like no one is watching! I think I will go join him.... I am so grateful to be a Mother!
