My Heart Melted

11.10.2007


We're teaching Adam to ask for things by saying
"May I please have _________?"

We have to remind him constantly about asking for something politely - that's what this age is all about, afterall.

Most of the time he manages to get out "May peez have ________?"

One night a few weeks ago shortly after he moved into his big boy bed and could get up on his own during the night, I heard the shuffle of his little footsteps coming down the hall to our room.

Soon, there he was, at my beside.

And his sweet little voice in the night: "Mama, may have hold you?"

And my heart melted right then and there.

How precious!

And you're right about the Josh Groban CD...it's great! My other favorite is an old Point of Grace one. I can't remember the title, but it's got a black & white cover. If you see it, pick it up. It's really good.

Abbie :

whao, these precious moments to treasure. Too cute.

Melissa in Mel's World :

Oh my gosh....I am a big puddle sitting here at my laptop now. My boys are 11 and 13 and there isn't anything that I wouldn't give away to have that moment back...treasure it, it is a blessing!!!

Bonnie :

Hi Jill,
I came over from Karolee's blog after reading your husband's birthday tribute to you ! Had to comment when I read this post ... what a sweet little boy you have !
Bonnie

Jamie :

Oh, that is sooo sweet!! My heart just melted!!

Sue :

Oh that got me all teary. How precious!

It may take a lot of reminding, but it's actually so easy to teach them manners. I find it odd how so many people are always so surprised at mine saying please and thank you on their own.

It's those moments I wish we could store in a bottle...

julie :

What a sweet little boy. You are truly Blessed.

BlondeMomBlog (Jamie) :

That is too too sweet. It's moments like those that you just want to hold on to forever!

Sonya :

He is such a gorgeous boy!

Tickled Pink And Green :

From one Jill to another....

Can I adopt that sweet little boy? That made my heart melt too! Remember & retell that story at his rehearsal dinner. ;-)
