precious little words

Of course i cannot possibly write down or remember every single cute thing i experience as being a Mom, but one thing that has been so enjoyable lately is the sentences that Nolan is forming and witnessing his sweet and gentle personality come alive right in front of my eyes. it is true that they are little sponges and something about being the most influential and important person to the most important person/s in my life makes my heart so full and warm to say the least! one of his favorite things to say at the moment is 'thank you.' i don't remember it being terribly challenging to enforce but it is the most rewarding thing to hear from a child. "thank you Mom." "Mom? thank you." "thanks so much Mom." i don't exactly know why it went from Mommy, to Mom (with "Mommy mix" in between) but it has and I'm still getting used to it. everything starts with or ends with "Mom." he will casually walk into a room that i am in and say "what you doin Mom?" or for no reason will seek me out just to tell me "i love you sooooo much Mom." it always comes at the perfect time too and he just has a soft side to him that I'm so in love with. he has his moments and can be very stubborn and possessive (especially with electronics: ipad, smart phone) but that's what makes him who he is and i am having a great time getting to know this special little dude... my son, Nolan. I'm so proud!
