mommy, will you hold me?

this precious boy has stolen my heart.

it has been a long time since this vivacious, energetic & fun-loving boy has said ;

'mommy, will you hold me?'

elijah, as rough & tumble as he is, he also is sensitive and compassionate. when he is not feeling so well, the only thing he wants is -- ME :)

all day to today he has been saying that he is cold. i'm thinking -- how the heck can you be cold when it is 90+ degrees outside? anyways, a few hours later he says it again and adds that his arms/legs hurt inside & that his head hurts. hmmm...not quite sure what this could be.

we were out to dinner with some of my girlfriends at a mexican joint (his favorite) so, i knew when he didn't touch his food that something was up. we ended up leaving early.

when we got home i made him a palette on the couch and took his temperature.

lo & behold it was 102 degrees!!!

i gave him some meds and asked him what he wanted.

he said, "mommy, all i want is for you to hold me?"

(tears)

oh, how i love this little man :o)

he has stolen my heart!!!

every night before i go to sleep....i thank the lord for the 'men' in my life.

He has blessed me with the most wonderful husband in the world;

He has blessed me with the two sweetest little men in the world;
