Take A Chill Pill

I think it's easy to get "caught" up in life.
As a mom, there is so much to do. Children's physical and emotional needs can be overwhelming.
Thankfully, my boys like to remind me to take a chill pill.

The baby:
Well, he just has to look at me. Really he is that stinking cute! 
He's going on six months, and my heart just melts when he says "Mama".

The toddler:
He likes to give me a reality check. For instance, (I'm breast feeding the baby) when he hands  me a random item from the garbage can. Before I can react in disgust, he has to say something all cute. He gives me those puppy dog eyes "Mama I got dis foo you" and my heart melts.... Until I realize I'm holding garbage next to the baby. Ah!

The child:
 He can be a lot to deal with, my nick name for him is Flash (like the superhero). He's fast and he is always going somewhere. The kid jumps up and down when he is watching TV.  

He also can undo all the locks in the house, except the top lock on the front door. Which we quickly learned what happens when we forget to lock it. What happens? Well, lets just say our son was dancing on top of the van ( For the five minutes I was frantically searching the house for him).

Every so often he does something so sweet. Like the other night he was asking me questions, somehow we got onto the conversation about him growing up. I mentioned to him in our conversation, that he would one day have his own house and family. 

This did not go over well. He grabbed both sides of my face, with his hands, and said very seriously "Mommy, I will never leave you". 

(Deep Sigh) For a moment I got teary eyed, but as soon as the conversation was over, I thought about it. NEVER? Never Leave? He'll change his mind when he's twenty, right?
