L is the most sensitive, old-soul, almost five-year-old I've ever met. I don't deserve him, and as crazy as he drives me when he throws his tantrums, I couldn't adore him more. I get hugs, kisses, and compliments daily from him, and everyone who meets him, whether 4 or 44, is pleased by his friendly, precocious nature.
I volunteered in his class at church today, and when his teacher asked, "Who do you love with all your heart?" he answered, without the slightest hesitation, "God." I pretty much melted directly into my shoes.
He just started playing indoor soccer, and has had two games. While his constant jumping-dancing-skipping is pretty darn cute, the part that warms my heart is the fact that in both games, he completely stopped chasing the ball to pick up a teammate who has gotten knocked down.
Apparently, I'm not the only one swooning over his big-heartedness. He told me last week that his girlfriend took his hand and patted her hair with it. "And Mommy," he continued, wide-eyed, "I was so surprised!"
And so it begins.
Namaste', L. Your light is so bright...let it shine, little dude.

That is so cute! He's gonna be a favorite with the ladies when he gets older if he keeps this up. :)

Such a sweetie. He's sounds like a really cool kid.
Such a sweet little guy! You are obviously doing an amazing job.
Punky certainly has her moments, but right now I'm more concerned with the speed at which she's going through boyfriends!
warms the heart
If I'm ever blessed with a son, I can only hope I'll have what it takes to raise him the way you are raising Lo. Such a sweet little guy.
What a sweet boy.
