All the boys ended up in my room last night. David was on call. Mason and Jonas started out there and around 4:30am Porter showed up. Then Porter coughed for the next hour until I finally said him and I should get up. We were all up by 6:30am. There is something reassuring about having them all cuddled in my room, especially when David is working.
This morning I got to spend time reading with Porter. He's currently reading, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." So far he said this one has been boring because it's all been about getting ready for a wedding. But when I started reading with him it started to get exciting again. He loves the action and the drama. I never read this series on my own, so it's been fun to read at least parts of it with him. Usually for Mommy/Porter time we end up reading. I love that he still lets me read to him. I don't know how much longer that will last.
Today was a beautiful day, so Mason and Jonas and I decided to go for a walk. These boys are so fun. They both got out their bikes and helmets and we headed off. Then we ran into a neighbor, so they ended up riding up and down our street. Our street is pretty steep and they came pummeling down the street. Kind of gives me a heart attack, but I loved watching how much fun they had. Watching my boys play and have so much fun is one of my favorite things. It was close to Porter's lunch time, so we decided to walk over to the school and say hello. Porter gave the boys hugs and kisses and told them he loved them. These are the moments when you'd think they love each other and always get along. On our walk home, Jonas stopped to try and get butterflies to land on his arm. It didn't happen, but when we were playing outside later today he was able to catch a ladybug and have it crawl on him. He is so tender with animals and it ALMOST makes me want to get him a pet that he can really play with. I'll have to think about it and see if there is a pet that would really work for him.
My goal is to focus more on the positive, sweet interactions with my boys, so I can remember how lucky I am and how much joy they bring me.
