Beautiful Words

Just today…..

I let my eleven year old son know that lunch is ready and he replies, “I just have to finish crocheting to the end of the row. I can’t stop in the middle you know.”

Five year old Sarah drops a piece of cheese on the floor and says, “Oh dear.”. Seconds later, 21 month old Abraham says, “O Deee.”

I ask my fifteen year old son to bring Abraham outside while I clean for a few minutes and he replies, "Sure Mom, I am just going to finish up my math first."

My daughter runs to her coat and pulls out a little rock and says, “Here Mom. This is a love rock for you.”

Warm wishes. Tonya

  4. Such special souls you are raising. I just experienced a parenting fail and had to put myself in timeout. Off to hug my little one and tell him I love him.
