I'll love you forever...

Do you ever have those moments with your kids where they just melt your heart. Well, tonight, while I was reading Ben one of his many bedtime stories we had one of those moments.

Now, I'm sure most of you have this book in your childs' collection, if not, you really should. It's one of those books that touch your heart. "Love you forever" by Robert Munsch.



Well, tonight was our third night reading this book in a row. I think Ben gets a kick out of seeing mommy well up with tears (this book makes me cry EVERY time I read it). Tonight, when we hit the 3rd to last page, when The Grown Man picks up his old and sick mommy and sings her the song, my little guy decided that he should do that for me. He wanted to pick me up and sing me the lullaby from the book. He actually got quite upset when he realized that he would not be able to pick me up. So, I picked up my 4year old boy, and rocked him back and forth and sang the song to him. "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."

When all was said and done, he looked at me and said "Thank You Mommy, I love you!!" how can you beat that!

Then, within seconds, life goes back to normal and he's saying "Mom, I can't sleep; Mom, I need a drink; Mom, just one more show; mom, mom, mom...."

But it's all worth it for those little moments.

Thank You Robert Munsch for writing a book that means soooo much!
