1. For the past couple of weeks or so, Grayson sees and smiles at himself in the mirror and it's the cutest danged thing ever. I need to get a video of it because, seriously, it kills me.
2. As I was reading Grayson his bedtime book tonight he kept smiling and talking to the book. Right after getting him ready for bed, I went to Carter's room to read him his bedtime books. I love that we read to the kids. I really, really hope to raise avid little readers who love going to the library as much as I did as a kid (and still do as an adult).
3. Every morning Carter asks where Dad is and I tell him that Dad is at work. This morning Carter informed me that Carter misses Dad. Pretty sweet moment, right there. Then, my Grayson was Mr. Smiley and Chatty today. He's such a social little man.
Yes, there are days where both of them drive me crazy. And, yes, there are days where I just want ONE DAY OFF from parenthood. But, I cannot relate how much I love these two little boys. Kids really take over your life, but loving kids and raising them is the most rewarding and emotional experience I've ever had. I can't remember who said this, but I read somewhere that a male movie star who recently became a father said something like, "I had no idea how much my mom loved me until I had a child of my own." I love that because it couldn't be more true.
Monday is over and I survived it without Starbucks or a shopping spree. Maybe those things will encourage me to leave the house tomorrow though :)
I hope everyone has a good night!
