Still blogging on fumes here... I get seasick from the waves in my computer screen.Quick update: Beck's dentist appointment went really well this morning... he's doing great. Thanks for your prayers. :) The Spirit really helped me to be calm. Beck wasn't afraid at all and he did really well with the anesthesia.
Okay, so I just had to tell you about the best parenting moment I've had with Gabe in a LONG time. Nothing pre-planned or fancy or forced. It was just an opportunity to spend a little one-on-one time together. There's a million things to do everyday, but I will be forever grateful that I chose to sit down and just BE with my son.
After school on Tuesday, Gabe and I cuddled up in the recliner and watched "River Monsters" together. The host is so funny! He is a true biologist -- VERY passionate about what he does. Gabe and I had fun trying to imitate his accent and add to the show (think Mystery Science Theater 3000). We were laughing so hard we were crying. Gabe leaned over and said, "Mom, I love you, you're so cool to hang out with." How many 13 year old boys say that to their Mom? I don't think I will EVER forget that. Ever.
Lacy, you are TOO COOL!!! I love this! I love that you love your kids so much! They can feel it. So cool!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen you reach MST Status with your 13 year old is indeed a priceless treasure. Glad things are looking up.
ReplyDeleteSo COOL! I think that is something every parent dreams about, or should dream about, hanging out with their teenager, and their teenager liking it! Glad Beck's appointment went well.
ReplyDeleteBEST moment. Yay!
ReplyDeleteIsn't being a mom the best!?! I hope my son still thinks I am cool when he is 13. I will take any pointers you have to give me! You are such an awesome mom. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great moment!!
ReplyDeleteGlad the dentist went well today for your son.
Glad everything went well with the dentist. And it's so amazing when we stop and just spend time with our kids, yet so hard to do. Thanks for the reminder. :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...so sweet. What a great moment for both of you. And don't kids just make everything worth it.
ReplyDeleteOkay that almost made me cry with the awesomeness of it! I must be hormonal.
