Favorite part of my day today

Andrew and Owen follow the same bedtime routine. After they've bathed, pajama'd, and read books, I snuggle with each boy (each getting to be first on alternating nights) and ask them "what was the favorite part of your day?". Andrew likes to talk about playing outside, kids church or donuts. Owen always says the same thing: playing with Tania (his teacher). Today I had a moment I don't want to forget that was absolutely the favorite part of my day. I picked up Andrew from Kindercare and before he left his classroom, his good friends each asked for a hug. Andrew went to his four best friends (all boys) in turn and gave each one a big hug. I was bursting with love, pride, and a touch of sadness because I know little boys don't stay like this forever. I have to say I love 4.5 (almost 5).

Andrew loves to go shopping with me. I love to go shopping with him. Trader Joe's is the best spot because he can have his very own cart.
