May I just start this post by saying, I love being a mom. Sure, there are days where I want to scream (and I do) or shut my child in a room (and I do..baby-proofed and for just a few minutes) but days like yesterday always make up for those moments.
Yesterday, for the first time, Brent initiated saying "I love you". He has been repeating us when we tell him first for months now but never saying it on his own. We were playing in his room and he shut himself in the closet to hide. As he did he said, "Bye Mommy, I love you." I about melted when he said it! And then later in the day I went to put him down for a nap and as I leaned in to kiss him he looked up into my eyes and said, "I love you Mommy". I was beaming from ear to ear and had to call Brandon at work just to tell him (and rub it in). Not in a mean way. Just letting him know how lucky I am to be married to a man who works so hard so that I can stay home and have the best job in the whole wide world!

Crystal,
It is so fun to see your blog. You are a cute pregnant lady. I ran into your mom at the promised land pageant, and it was fun to see her.
I hope we can see you guys sometime this year:) Brent is darling, and growing up fast!
Keep in touch

He is such a sweet little boy! I have days where I want to scream (and do) and want to put Luke in his room (and do) too!!! I'm just glad to see that I'm not the only one who finds motherhood hard sometimes. Your talk yesterday was really great. We do have such a wonderful, and such an important job, and I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be home... however, instead of calling Jake to tell him Luke said something cute, I call him (like this morning) to tell him that our darling son threw a toothpaste box in the toilet, or his sippy cup in the diaper pail. LOL...
that is a sweet moment, i remember the first time my kids said it on their own, it is the best moment! i agree it is great to stay home, i actually feel sorry for dads because they will never know the joys we experience (at least not to the same degree)
that is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute oh my gosh and how touching...tears to my eyes it did bring akkkkkkkkkkkkk happy days :)
