Aidan slept in a bit late yesterday morning. It was nearly 8 before he graced us with his cute little smile and numerous requests to play. Seriously…how can kids go from zero to 60 the way they do? Sleeping one minute and inside 30 seconds, pulling your hand to drag you out of bed to play with them. I wish I still had that kind of energy. 
So I had a feeling that staying down for a nap might be a bit of a challenge yesterday. I laid down next to him in his bed and tried to get him to drift off. I thought he was getting close and closed my own eyes pretending to be asleep in hopes of reinforcing the nap.
Suddenly, I felt a soft little hand on my cheek rubbing it ever so slightly. I opened my eyes and Aidan was staring at me with his sweet little face only inches from mine. I smiled and he rubbed my cheek again and said, “I love you.” Then he closed his eyes and drifted off.
I laid there for about five minutes before I got up and attended to all the naptime chores calling me. I had tears of joy streaked across my face. This is the kind of moment that I know will be with me forever. It is a moment when I know that being his mom is the best thing I’ve ever done.
I love you too, bub. More than anything.
YEs, that is in fact goo worthy.
AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Shut up. That was the sweetest thing I’ve read all dang day.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
*wipes tears* Oh my.
