I know that sounds so asinine, but its true. I LAUGHED and it was with pure joy and merriment. No derision or sarcasm.
S and I were picking up a few things at the store and then i told him "last one to the car buys coffee" and took off running with the cart.
He won, but then he didn't have the cart to push or pants weighed down by keys. But oh how I laughed all the way.
I don't know how to explain how much I love my son.
The pride I feel at being the one who created him, and then moulded him into the amazing person he is.
Do you know I asked him to take the cart back at the first store and he grabbed another cart? One out of his way?
And at the second store, after soundly beating me in our race, took the cart back without being asked?
It may seem silly, but the tiny thoughtful behaviors are so very important to me. He is a kind and wonderful boy, and I hope he becomes a kind and wonderful man some day.
