Lately I’ve been struck again and again by just how sweet Jackson is as a little man. I’ve always known it but sometimes his unsurpassable energy or insurmountable hijinks cause me to focus on other things-like my own daily survival.
But I digress, back to his incomparable sweetness. . .
A few nights ago I was putting him to bed and said goodnight and that I loved him. He said goodnight and that he loved me and then said, “mom, you’re the greatest person I’ve ever met” and gave me a big hug and kiss.
Each morning Jackson gets up early enough to see Jay leave for work (around 6:30) and then climbs into bed and snuggles up to me. He usually just lays there silently (sometimes playing on my phone) next to me. And then around 7 when Bear starts stirring (saying “mommy, I waked up again, come get me!) Jack kisses me on the cheek and says, “sweet mommy, it’s time to wake up. I love you mommy!”
Last week I walked in to him laying in the crib with Lincoln. He was just snuggling and talking to him. I walked in just in time to hear, “you’re the baby that I prayed for. I asked Jesus and Santa for another brother and he gave us you! You were the answer to my prayers.” Yes, my heart melted. For all of his wildness, he sure does have a heart of gold. I love that little man with all of my heart. It’s amazing how kids make your heart grow so much bigger. Jay and I both love each of our three little boys more than we ever thought possible.
