That Fabulous Face.


So last night I was watching tv in bed with the boy.

There is something about his face.

The freckles, the chub, the soft roundness to his eyes.

I.LOVE.THAT.FACE.

"A face only a mother could love." is so full of truth.

Not that my son isn't handsome- he is.

Do people on the street stop and stare in awe of his beauty?

No.

But I do.

Last night, I said, "Can I just tell you something?"

Without looking up he replied, "Yes, mom, I know you love me and my face."

Me: "Do I really say it that often?"

Him: "Mom, 59 times a day is a lot. How about 20?"

Boys and their mamas are so flipping sweet to me. That sounds EXACTLY like something my nephew would say to my sister.
And yes--you should totally love that face because it is adorable. The freckles are killing me. :)

There's a saying I live by as a Mom. Your child is like a bucket of sand. Your job is to fill that bucket up with so much sand that no matter how many holes the world pokes in it, it will never run out of sand.

That's what we do when we tell them things like that - fill up the bucket.

You're posting! That makes me happy.

What's more? I got to read more about that wonderful boy of yours.

All is good with the world today.

This post? Is what I love to see. And that sweet boy's face.

Stephanie Faris said...

Kids embarrass so easily! I think when he's older, though, he'll appreciate it. Is there any sight on earth more beautiful than a sight of someone's own child?

Melissa, Multi-Tasking Mama said...

So sweet..when I ask my boys if I can tell them something they roll their eyes and say "yes, I know you can't believe that something so awesome came from something as messed up as you". The love you can feel for a son is overwhelming! Your kid is adorable- just like his mama!

He is so adorable :)... it also sounds like he knows how much you love him, which I think is extremely important.

That made me giggle!! I think it's awesome. I Think my kids are tired of me telling them what cuties they are too. Haha. Stopping in from SITS.

Annie said...

Love it--I was just doing that the other day, to my #2 son. Cute sprinkling of freckles across his nose, just imprinting his gorgeous 5-year old face in my memory. We've got three boys, but this one has the softest skin in the world, and I tell him that almost daily. :)
Found you through SITS, and I'm glad I did!

Charlene said...

Definitely a cutie patutie.

I find myself doing that a lot lately... just stopping and standing in awe of what a lucky mommy I am. Indeed.

Vodka Mom said...

"Cottage By The Sea" said...

My little guys are now big guys and they still love to hear me tell them how cute they are and how much I love, love, love, their little faces. Their chests actually puff out a little! Your boys "angel kisses" are adorable. One more way for him to know how much God loves him too.

Lyssa said...

I know this feeling. I tell my daughter probably 75 times a day how pretty or sweet her face is. or how smart she is etc. I cant get enough of her face though!! I just melt every single time I look at her!

Mommy Mentor Child Sleep Coach said...
