Conversations with a 5 year old

{image from here}


When I went into Cade's room to wake him up from quiet time on Friday,
our conversation was as follows....


Me- Hi Cade, it's time to get up buddy.


Cade- Hey Mommy. {big stretch and eye rub} I have a surprise for you.


M- What is it?


C- I saved you a spot right here, to lay in my bed and snuggle with me.


M- {climbing into his twin bed}
Oh Cade, that is so sweet of you, thank you!


C- I'll save you a spot forever Mommy.


M- Cade, you just melted my heart! I sure do love you!


C- I'll save you a spot forever Mommy because
I LOVE YOU forever
{he proceeds to give me a gigantic hug}



It was a Kodak moment for my heart...

Beck, you are doing a wonderful job of raising your children!!! I am so proud of you, never changing, never wavering from your Godly principles in your life and the lives of Cade and Gracie!!!
You love shines through...
I love you dearly,
Mom
