My Little Sweetheart

Today was a long day...I was horribly sick this morning and so tired all day long. Ethan is still on vacation detox so he's a little less patient and obedient. By the time we got to bed time I was at my wit's end and so was he... We followed our bedtime routine and then Ethan wanted me to lay on the floor with him for "5 minutes" (he doesn't know how long 5 minutes really is, but he likes to ask for just 5 more minutes). So I cozied up beside him. After just a couple of minutes he rolled over and gave me the cutest kiss on the lips and peck on the cheek. My eyes were closed so I didn't see it coming...it was so sweet. He proceeded to do this same act a few times until it was time for him to get in his bed.

I went out of his room to take a phone call and when I came back he was jumping on his bed and had a dirty diaper...of course! So I changed that stinky thing. When I was done Ethan gave me a thumbs up and said, "Good job stinky dipe mom!" My heart melted. What a kid. That was the most rewarding dirty diaper I've ever changed. I sure love him!

What a darling young man. I just want to give him a big squeeze. He melts all of our hearts. We love you Ethan.
