Five Minute Friday - Tender

Tender - When my littlest one falls asleep on me, like he used toeveryday when he was even smaller.

Tender - When my little milk monster, while learning to stand, falls over, and sits waiting for me, arms outstretched, till we can nestle in on the couch and nurse his ouchies away.

Tender - When my precious cookie monster falls and my husband runs faster then I do, just to pick him up and cuddle him till he feels better.

Tender - When at the end of the day we all just collapse together to snuggle and read stories, and the big boy gently rubs the little boys head and says "Kisses milk monster"

(Don't mind the mess please, it was baby led weaning dinner :D)

Tender - When my sweet almost 3 year old comes up to me and for the first time says "Mama, I love you"

Tender - When my boys remind me of the love Jesus must have for us, because my love for them is so big I don't know how it could be any bigger.

I see the tenderness in my husband eyes when he comforts our boys, and I see tenderness when my big boy so sweetly pats my little boys back with me.

Monkey Hear, Monkey say

Yesterday we were driving to see my Grandma. We pulled up to a stop light, the light turned green and the car in front of me did not move. I waited a good 30 seconds before beeping my horn. I could see the lady in the car look up, and then go. When we got on the freeway I passed her and sure enough, she was on her phone. Under my breath I muttered "get off your phone." From the back seat I hear a previously quiet Cookie Monster say "get off your phone!" He repeated this every few minutes. Mental note to Self: set good driving example for my boys. Harder to do then to say!
