One day last week I felt like I needed to spend the whole day with Grayson. I had been busy doing my own thing and running errands and just keeping busy that I felt like he was getting neglected with mom time. So I took the whole day and did what he wanted to do. We did my exercise video together, read library books and played games in the morning. The fishing game is one of his favorites to play with me, and I like to play matching games with him. We ate lunch and then he asked me if we could go for a walk. It was cold and threatening to rain so I didn't necessarily want to go outside, but I did. He wanted to practice riding his balance bike. By the time we got our coats on and went outside it was spitting rain, but we had fun anyway.
Then we came inside and made M&M cookies for our afterschool snack. He was sitting on top of the counter; as we put our dough together Grayson looked up at me and said, "Today was a good day. I like today. I'm glad the kids are in school so I can spend time with you Mom." I have never heard him speak in such a grown up manner and it made my heart sing. I gave him a great big hug and he even let me have the beaters because "I always have the beaters, so it's your turn Mom. I'll have the spoon and bowl." I love you my baby boy! I am so glad I listened to that prompting and spent some much needed time with him to make him feel special.
