I love that boy

We all have love in our lives in various forms from various sources but there is a love that I never knew until I had my boys. It is this crazy love that makes your heart want to explode if you don't act on it immediately. Tonight I was sitting on the couch when I can hear the sound of one of Joshy's Christmas books playing O Little Town of Bethlehem while he made up words to the song. After hearing his sweet falsetto voice sing a verse and a half, I couldn't stand it and took off from the couch, ran upstairs and tackled him in the bed. I give him this huge bear hug and tell him that his singing makes my heart smile and he just looks at me and says, "I love you all the time". Of course, he also loves flashlights, sprinklers, eating snacks and whatever else he is trying to get us to give him (Mom, can I wear my new shirt? Not right now...you can wear it tomorrow. But I love new shirts. Good, you can wear it to school tomorrow. But I love it right now.). Even so, it is nice to be on that list.
