Life is interesting with three-year-olds, at least in this house. Despite being attached to me 24/7 as a baby, Mr. D is not really cuddly or physically affectionate . He’s quite reserved, but never wavers when he’s got something on his mind. He has a great imagination and loves “guys”, Legos and puzzles. He is stubborn and frequently questions authority, often resulting in a lot of time spent in time-out. We are in a constant battle of push and pull, he and I.
So last weekend, when we were all a little under the weather, you can imagine my surprise when my sweet boy climbed into my lap. Curled his body next to mine and quickly fell asleep. He didn’t feel well and the only comfort he wanted was Mamma. I sat in that chair, rubbing his back and thanking God for this treasure of mine. He may sometimes be difficult, but he also challenges me to be a better mother. And for that, I will always be grateful.
I think the Lord gives us moments like that to help us through the next time out episode 🙂 your little man is a sweetie. hope he's feeling better now!
That is so sweet! I love when they want to cuddle!
Aww, so sweet! I love snuggle time with my little boys too! =)
What a lovely photo! I also have a 3 year old who challenges me every day, so I know what you're going through! Stopping by from Embrace the Camera. Have a great day! (O:
