Drink of water

At night, often p will say hes thirsty at bedtime and ill let him get up by himself while i wait on him in his bed, hell climb the toilet, grab paper cups from the cabinet, jump down, climb the bathroom counter, poor water and slowly bring his water cup to his room. Most always hell show up with two. One for me and one for him. Because hes amazingly sweet and thoughtful in that way. It really makes me swoon to see him come around that corner balancing his cup and mine. Tonight he took one to daddy up in the den before returning to me with ours in his hands saying, "herew ya gooooo mommy".  Half the time he doesnt wven drink his, but if hes going to think of an excuse to get out if bed, at least he considers my needs as well. Its the most precious thing in the universe. 

Opryland 2015

Tonight ben played music and ao we were home alone. I asked you if youd wanna go somewhere to see pretty lights and you jumped up very excited! So off we went to opryland hotel! Last year was a bit of a fail, but thid year- you loved it! We walked han in hand most of the night, threw pennies in the ponds making wishes, all you wishes were "i wish upon a star" :), we rode the elevators and the escalators- you just love those two things- and you got very excited overthis beautiful ornament that we could sit in as well as the giant nutcrackers placed all over he hotel! Once, as we walked holding hands, you kissed the too of my hand and looked up at me and smiled so big that i think you blushed. I literally melted away in a puddle of nothing. You kissed it one more time and i fawned over you again and again! I was speechless at such love! My heart was full enough to explode. Something soecial about a mama and her cub, i tell you. we took a potty break and once more, you shut the stall door and made me wait outside of it bc u are "a big boy" buy this time you even locked me out! So i stole some photos of the moment :) we had the best time and i do so love the time we get alone- its awfully special to this mama. ❤️
