Lots of us have little tiny moments in our lives that simply take our breath away. Here is one of mine...
After having a great family day playing all morning at home then hanging out at the Woodstock Fair, we came home and started our nightly routine. While rocking a restless Maddex to sleep he changed positions several times, ending up cuddling upright with his head on my shoulder facing out. He hummed along to his music and I could tell he was drifting to sleep. And then out of nowhere he turned, puckered his lips, and "mmmm-ed" (his way of asking for a kiss). We kissed and he put his head back down only to ask for another, and another, and another until he finally fell asleep.
Multiple kisses aren't out of the ordinary for Maddex, and asking for them when we cuddle is almost a given. But tonight it seemed to be so much more. His way of saying, "Thanks for everything I have, Mommy," "I had such a great day with you and Daddy," "I love you more than words, Mommy."
I have heard several times there is no love like a son's love for his Mommy. Tonight I was able to truly feel his deep love for me, and it simply took my breath away...
