My Son?

Is made of AWESOME.

Just thought you all should know.

***********************

There are times when I find myself looking at him and thinking – “How did I get so lucky to have HIM for my son?”

And truthfully, there are times when I find myself looking at him and thinking – “What the heck buddy – what are you thinking??”

But lately, he has been made of AWESOME, and I know it’s not very often that I say it, and many times parents don’t say it out loud.  So I let him overhear me tell my sister how awesome he has been lately, and how lucky I am to be his mommy… I pretended not to notice that he was in the next room… but I knew he could hear me, and his smile… almost gave him away.

I have a challenge for all the Momma’s and Daddy’s – find something awesome about your child and let them overhear you brag about it to Grandma, or an Aunt, or someone special… many times it’s easy to find the naughty or disappointing thing that they have done… but I’m guessing you can find something that makes your son or daughter be made of “awesome” as well.

And maybe it’s something simple such as …”He held open the door for me”; … ‘he picked up his toys’  … put the dishes away without me asking…

Or maybe he tells you he loves you as he is getting out of the truck – even though his friends are within ear shot, and says – “Mom, I hope you have a great day at work, cause I’m going to have a great day at school – love you!”

Yeah, how did *I* get this lucky?
