Last night Mason choose the book "Love You Forever" as his bedtime story. I haven't read him this book in a really long time. He listened as I read about the mommy who would sneak into her son's room, crawl across the floor, pick him up and rock him back and forth singing, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."
After I finished the book, he wanted me to pretend that he was sleeping so I could crawl across the floor, pick him up and rock him back and forth, singing the song. He thought it was pretty funny. So, we said our prayers and I thought that he was about asleep..... until I felt his arms go around my neck and he started to rock me back and forth while singing a pretty good version of the song in the book. He sang, "I'll love you forever. I like you every day. As long as I'm living, my mommy you will be." He thought I was really sleeping so I didn't say a word. He rolled over and went to sleep. I lay there with big fat tears in my eyes, thanking God for giving me such an amazing child.

AMG - what a great story. What a special moment....
That is something you will always remember, even when Mason is 11 and in middle school acting like a teenager already and you will want to pull your hair out, just remember that sweet moment you had with him reading that story. :-)
Such a sweet boy! He's a cutie pie.
What sweet, sweet memories that you'll cherish forever! It is AMAZING how quickly children grow up. Our babies become toddlers so quickly, moving from total dependence to indepence. How wonderful that he wanted to share such a special time with you.
Okay... now I'm crying.. :)
