A Pleasant Surprise

My little boy has mastered the art of getting on my nerves. He knows all my crazy buttons and pushes them liberally.

And then... joy of joys... yesterday, out of nowhere, his mouth opened - not to whine, tattle, or complain - but to say, "I like you Mom!"

What? It took me a few seconds to process the unfamiliar phrase, but by the time he repeated himself I was grinning from ear to ear. "Thanks Tomy. I like you too!"

I guess being a mom has it's perks after all. :)

Few and far between but these are the things that keep kids alive.

That makes me happy and I'm not even the mom!
