Heartfelt Moments

You ever have one of those melt your heart moments? With having kids it seems to happen more frequently. The sweet little things they do, of course when they want to. The sweet kisses and hugs and "I love yous". Or maybe seeing them work super hard at achieving something and them finally doing it. A milestone of some sort. It seems as if so many things can be melt your heart moments and it varies from day to day on what will catch you off guard, or what will happen. Well, I had one of those extremely melt your heart moments yesterday, had me on the brink of crying it made me so happy. After two years of seeing my oldest son struggle so hard to read (no matter which approach we used) and now seeing him pick up books to read for enjoyment, not because he has to, are great moments every day. But yesterday was one of a kind, he chose a particular book to read. Out of all the books in this house, he chose to read "Love You Forever". Amazing! This is my all time favorite book and I have read it to him at least 3 times a week if not more since birth. He could have chosen any other book though. Anything! One about dinosaurs, or dogs. Cats, dragons, Scooby-Doo; but he chose this book. And as he sat down to read this book to me I had to take a step back and really enjoy the moment. He read the whole book, then went on to talk about how he loved the book so. It was an absolutely wonderful moment. One that I will hopefully remember for a lifetime. ♥

What's a favorite memory of something your child has done?
