Sweet moments of motherhood

Motherhood has been full of very sweet moments, but I think the moment I had with Sawyer last night was the sweetest yet. We had gone to dinner with my family for Eric's birthday and Chris was headed to play a basketball game so Sawyer and I headed home, just the 2 of us. When we got there it was close to bedtime already so I got him in his jammies and asked if he wanted to watch a little Barney before bed. He said yes of course so I tucked him into my bed and turned on the movie. I hadn't even pushed play yet when I heard the sweet little voice, "momma, momma." I said, "what buddy?" Sawyer goes on to pat the pillow next to him and say, "lay down." He wanted me to lay by him to watch the movie, how could I refuse? So I curled up in bed next to him and watched Barney. After I layed down he scooted close to me and put his arm around my neck, pulling me close and kissing my cheek. Wow, all of the sudden every stress, worry, or heartache in life was melted away by this sweet little boy. I love him so much and look forward to many more sweet moments of motherhood.
