After five years and four months of life, my son finally told us that he loves us. We were decorating the tree last night and Jimmy was having the best time. He kept running back and forth, putting all his ornaments in the same spot - when his back was turned, I moved them. But he was so happy. He ran over to his father, gave him a kiss, and kind of haltingly said "I love you!" I about fell over. I was so shocked about what he had done that I missed him saying it to me! No matter - it was a thrill. Not anything I don't know, but it was so wonderful to hear him say the words!
The tree is done and the shopping is mostly done. Money is always a concern (especially with going to Texas), but these boys don't need much either. I am just pleased that I have two amazing kids! Jimmy has made so much progress this year and Jacob is developing normally. As much work as that is, he is still amazing. His new thing is "Cars" - he has been bugging me for the movie for two weeks and I finally got it for him. We are twenty minutes into it and he is beside himself. He is dancing naked to Rascal Flatts - why, oh why does he not like clothes?
Have a great week!
