Tender heart

Our Ben has the most tender little heart. Ben is a very sensitive kid and feels his emotions throughout his whole body. Whether it be that he's sad, disappointed, happy, excited... he FEELS it. I just had a great cuddle/hang out before bed session with him and it made me happy so I wanted to write about it while thinking of it. There's enough room for us to both lay on his bed, so we were just chatting... about who knows what. Who cares, right? He said his prayers, asked for Uncle Greg to feel good and "thankful for soccer that it'll get safely" and then I told him goodnight and I loved him lots. I put my hands back to back and said "I love you from here (one side of the hand) all the way around the world to here (the other side of the hand)" to which he replied "No.... I love you from here (point to his heart) to here (to my heart)". Is your heart melting like mine did? Even though my little guy drives me batty, for being a 4 year old he sure is wise and loving. When I got home the other night from a long day at work where I had to stay after hours he came out to the car to great me and hug me and said "mommy- you took too much long to come home". I love that little stinker. He is, as well as his brother, my SUNSHINE.
