Colsen has always had a soft and sweet heart, but lately I've enjoyed hearing his thoughts more than ever.
The other day I was reading a book to the kids and he kept trying to turn my face a different direction. I started to get frustrated because I couldn't see the page I was reading, until he explained, "I just wanted to see your face. I love your beautiful face." It made my whole day -- or maybe my whole year.
This morning I was in a bad mood, and as we were driving in the car, he blurted out, "Mom, I love you." I told him I loved him, too. Then he repeated, "Mom, I love you AGAIN!" I told him I loved him again, too. He was quiet for a few seconds and then he said, "I just can only keep thinking that I love you again and again!"
Is there anything sweeter than a 4-year old boy??
Well, maybe this...
Strider, Colsen and I went to a little book sale this afternoon and Colsen wanted to pick out something to buy with his own money. He settled on buying a fuzzy pencil, and then decided he wanted to get one for Rayna, too. When we got home, he ran right in to tell her....
Cole: Rayna!! I got you something!!
Rayna, running into the room: What?!?! You got me something?!
Cole: See! Here! This pencil!
Rayna: OOHHHH COLSEN!! THANK YOU!!!!
She wanted to hug him right away, and then show the rest of us her new treasure. You woulda thought she had been given a brand new car.
I love how those 2 love each other.
