Day 38 - These are the Moments

Being a parent is hard.  Really hard.  Thankfully there are so many little moments (some big) that just erase (or at least dull - haha!) all the hard stuff, and make your heart sing.  Today as I was trying to get some work done, Owen asked what my favorite color is.  I told him that I don't really have one, but that I like yellow because it makes me feel happy.  He disappeared for a couple minutes, then came back asking how to spell things: Mama, book, from - then promptly disappeared again.  Next he came in asking for a stapler.  I had to go check out what he was working on, and this is what I found my little love doing.

Out of nowhere, he decided to make me a book.  How sweet is that??!  I am one happy mommy.

In case you need assistance identifying the pictures, that's me on the left, playing with Maverick (our cat).  He also turned the O in his name into my face.  After I asked what the other item at the top was, he thought for a minute and answered, "It's a squished fly."  Perfect.  That kid cracks me up.
