The Sweetest Boy

Part of the reason I chose to begin a blog was so that I can document every day moments that no one else sees and also moments that I never want to forget.

Enjoying a lazy day after Christmas in our pj's, all playing and resting in our own way, I decided to have a DVR marathon, most of which included multiple episodes of Grey's Anatomy that have gone unwatched while the days have come and gone with the stress of daily life.

To set the scene, I was laying on the couch in my new pj's, Hagie was asleep on the other couch and Connor was busy playing with many new toys that include a giant fire truck, a dump truck named "Rocky," and a really loud race track. As usual, the tears started flowing as I watched episode after episode of one of the most emotional shows on television, Grey's. My sweet, observant boy came up to me and this is an account of our conversation:

Connor: "Mommy, what's wrong, are you sad?
Me: "Mommy's not sad because of you, mommy's watching a sad show on tv."
Connor: "Mommy I'll give you a hug and you won't be sad anymore and I'll clean you up."
Me: "Connor, mommy is ok and mommy always likes hugs from you!"
Connor: "I'll be right back....(Connor runs down the hall and comes back with tissue.)
Connor: "Here mommy, I wipe your eyes and clean you up and you'll feel better."

How precious is my little guy! I love that he has such a sweet spirit about him and I love that he loves hugs!!

Note to self: Don't watch emotional shows in front of Connor so not to confuse him as to why mommy is sitting on the couch crying.
