Sometimes I just can't get over how much I love my two little boys. They are both so unique and special to me. Yesterday they both got flu shots. Grant went knowing what was going to happen. He was so brave. Just knowing he was going to get a sticker afterwards was enough to get him to hold still and get it done. He tried to not cry, but then he reached out for me and wouldn't let go. His little chin quivered and he had the saddest face I've ever seen. Like he'd been totally betrayed. It made my eyes water. In fact the nurse was on the edge of tears too. Seriously. And she does this all day long. I said to her, "This is worse than when they scream, isn't it?" And she said, "Ya, this is absolutely heart-braking." After Grant calmed down he asked for his sticker. Oh how glad I was for those stickers. Brett screamed for maybe 10 seconds and then was fine after his shot. Both boys got stickers and Grant got an ice cream cone at Sonic.
Then Grant and I rode our bikes out front while Brett napped. (See Grant's sticker on his shirt?) I had so much fun just riding around in circles following Grant. I just love being on a bike. I felt like a kid for those 20 minutes.
Later on Grant played with
It was just another day full of moments where my heart was so full that I get to be a mom to these two kiddos. I love that I get to spend every day with them. Tonight when Keith asked Grant what he did today, Grant quickly said, "Played with Mom!" I'm so glad that's his answer.

I just love your blog, they make me smile, chuckle, laugh out loud,get a teary eyed, a little nostalgic, and even cringe when I see something like that cute band aid knowing what he had to go thru to get it. Thank you!!! (the boots under the table was a laugh out loud moment)
