Small joys

I love the small joys in my life. One of them is Connor wants his alarm to go off in the morn so he can sneak up and snuggle w/me for a few minutes before the chaos of getting ready in the morn. I love that Ian who can sneak into my bed so quietly that you have no idea he is there until you almost roll on him still comes in. Although this morn he was a little heater. I told him he had a fever and he said "no it's the sunshine making me warm" by the way the sun wasn't up yet. Even Kolette snuck in for a kiss this morn.

I love that when I helped out in Connor's class earlier this week I tapped him on the shoulder to let him know I was leaving; he got up hugged me, gave me a kiss and told me he loved me. I don't know how much longer that is going to last. I know he is getting older and he will eventually want to not do that in front of others. Corrin still does but she is a girl and she really doesn't care who sees her love on her mom. She will cross a room and do it.

I love that when I take my kids to school even with all her friends and the entire older grades outside Corrin will still stoop down and kiss and hug Ian. She has no idea she makes his entire day. She will also say hi to him everytime she sees him. They have P.E. at the same time so she keeps her eye out for him. She has even hugged him in the hallway. Love it!

I love that all the kids will give Kolette a hug as soon as they come out at the end of the day. She misses them so much it sure makes the time lost somewhat better.

I am glad that it is the small things that bring me joy. For they won't stay small for long but Lord willing they will always stay close to each other and to me. Kids Rock!!!
