>And then there was a 4 year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly man who had just lost his wife. When the child saw the man cry, the little boy went over into the man's yard and climbed on top of the man's lap and just sat there. When the boy's mother asked him what he'd
said to the neighbor, the little boy said "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
How Cute
How Cute
I just asked my ds (5yo) what is means to be loved and he said that when somebody loves you, you matter to them. Yep, I have 3 little people that matter to me!
I shouldn't have read this- I am so emotional today! I am just balling!
It's great!
Warm fuzzies!
 
That is so sweet. Thank you for sharing that.
My dh and I are all mushy inside now.
I agree, I shouldn't have read that either, I can barley see the screen i'm crying so bad. Mt DS says that his mommy and daddy love each other because we always hold each others hands no matter where we are. He asked me the other day what it feels like to be "in LOve". I told him you feel like frogs are jumping in your tummy, and when you see the person you are very excited and when they have to go you feel really sad. And when you think about it you don't ever want to live your life with out that person with you. Then he said (get this it is sooooo cute) "Mommy, I think I am in love with you because you make me feel all those things." Oh boy I cried. I told him that I'm in love with him too. Kids are great.
How sweet! And Kristie, that is adorable that your son said that!
Kristie,how precious !!!!!A few weeks ago,I asked my 3 yr old DGS why did he like to come to Nanny's house (I wanted to know pretty much which activity that I did with him,or which toy that he liked to play with the most,etc.)He looked straight at me and said"because I loooove YOU Nanny !!! There's no drug in the world that feels that good !!!!!!!
