Swooning.........

Sitting down to dinner.
Noah: Ooo! Mama, we gotta pray.
Me: Ooo! You are right. Let's start.
Noah: Wait. I need to go to pee.
Starts running off to the bathroom. Peeks his head back around the corner at me....
Noah: Mama, I love you. Lingers and just looks at me with those beautiful eyes.
My heart melted.

We were both sitting down in the family room watching TV.
Noah: You look awesome in that shirt.
Me: Thank you, sweetie. That is very nice.

I was in the kitchen doing dishes after dinner tonight.
Noah: Man, these chairs are dirty. I gotta clean them! I'm gonna clean the table too.
Me: Thank you sweetie. That is so nice of you. You make me proud.
While he is cleaning...........
Noah: I am suuuuuuuuch a good helper Mom.

How in the world did I get such an amazingly adorable loving child? I feel like I am constantly looking around thinking, "who put him up to this??" It is just too good to be true! I'm so thankful.

Please oh please be thankful. I really messed up in this area. My daughter was so great about cleaning she loved to help. But then as she got older I got more critical. I was so used to her being such a great helper that I tried to make her even better. I would give anything to turn back time. My critique of her helping me clean has hurt her so badly. I would give anything for someone to have critiqued me for my perfectionism parenting. So just in case, there is my two cents.

Have a great Weekend!!
