Smile Moments

After a LONG, EXHAUSTING day of this....
And THIS...
And even some MORE of THIS...
Which usually ends like this...
and this....

I, a mother of 3 little boys, need to take a quiet minute to myself to reminisce upon those sweet, quick moments during the day that make me smile. (Not want to cry!)

Smile Moment #1. Porter and I are eating lunch together when Porter asks me if I can open his bottle of water for him. I notice that he is using one hand to try and untwist the cap...

I continue eating my lunch and tell him to use his other hand. Knowing exactly what I am telling him to do he casually switches hands and tells me he still can't do it, waiting for me to look up at him... then breaks into laughter at himself for being such a "smart a--"... which then makes me laugh along with him... at how funny he thinks he is!

Smile Moment #2. As I am doing the dishes (for probably the 3rd time that day) Phearson has the stool pulled up to the kitchen counter playing quietly with random objects when all of the sudden he yells out to me to "LOOK, LOOK, Mommy!" I look over to see that he has stacked a few of the random objects on top of one another and is totally surprised and completely pleased with himself! I smile!

Smile Moment #3. No explanation needed. This little guy pretty much makes me smile every time I look at him, drool and all!!!

Boys, boys, boys! I love all 3! I was just thinking I wanted to come see you because you boys make my girl smile a lot!

I smiled throughout this entire post! They are so cute. It makes me a little jealous that I'm not having another boy so they can wrestle around like that. But who knows, maybe our little girl will wrestle with Lincoln! That story about the water bottle is way funny. Kids are so clever!

Running with kids....it's about making the time now! said...

That was such a cute post. I loved the wrestling! Hailey has learned that Ryker loves a good "take down", mommy doesn't, which I think makes it more fun!
I love your boys, they make me smile too. They are getting so big and so cute.
You are such a great mom, and you do so good with your boys.
