Yesterday, I got an e-mail from L's teacher saying that he was asked to move away from some friends because he was having a hard time making good choices.
Last night, the struggle for happy choices continued. L was crabby and whiny. Boyfriend convinced me that he couldn't ride his bike down "the concrete hill" and I needed to pull him on his bike (while pushing G in the stroller!) and I believed him, until B informed me that he's more than capable. He got several trips to his room and there were sighs, growls, and tears galore.
From us both.
This morning, I was putting on my shoes and L came in to my room and leaned on the door frame, smiling oh-so-sweetly.
"You're skinny and pretty," he said.
These are usually L's words of choice to attempt to bribe me into something (and admittedly, they work), so I chuckled and asked, "What do you want?"
His smile grew.
"I want....."
I waited, wondering.
"A kiss."
And just like that, all sad choices were erased from this momma's memory.
Happy Wednesday...and namaste.

Oh gosh, little boys are the sweetest, aren't they? I can never stay mad at my B for very long; he ends up melting my heart in ways I didn't know where possible. So adorable, and I'm glad L is back on your good list.. haha
Now how sweet is that!!!
So sweet! What a great way to start out your day!
What a sweet boy he is:-)
I have an L of my own (Logan) who is almost almost 5, and we have been having a lot of trouble concerning making good choices lately too. But you're right, just a sweet hug or kiss or a "you look really pretty today" makes you forget all about it!
And I bet you've spent the rest of the day smiling, am I right? :) Those moments definitely make up for those rough days. What a sweetheart.
Ummm, cutest thing ever! Sounds like he already knows the way to his mama's heart!
Melt my heart, why don't you?
So sweet!
Someone recently used the phrase Sour Patch Kids to describe this kind of thing! First they're sour, then they're sweet! :)
Our little boys know exactly how to melt our hearts, don' they.
Aw! I can't wait for the day I hear such sweet words from my baby!!!
So cute
This just melted my little heart!!! Such sweetness.
(ps your notepad is shipping today)
So, so sweet! I love the 'skinny and pretty' intro!!
That sounds just like Punky. Every word of it. Though her sad choices lately have been in the homework and acting-like-a-17-year-old-drama-queen department. ;-)
That is so super sweet. I do love your super sweet posts and will have to visit you on Katie's blog.
Oh my goodness... that is so flippin cute! Your blog looks beautiful btw :)
Twenty years or so from now, some really cute girl is going to be glad you raised that boy to say all the right things!
What a little charmer!! :)
