This afternoon at lunch he asked me to read him a 'pretend' book. So, I opened up my hands and we read two stories. The first one was about a 'lot of people' (Jax picked the topic ;o)) They went on many adventures and we discovered at the end that they were a family. The second book we read, again picked by Jax, was about a horse. This horse also went on many adventures and enjoyed smelling the pink flowers! ;o)
Once I was done reading to him, he decided to read himself. He would start with "Once upon a time ... " And he made up his own story. His was about a princess who loved to play games and take naps. ;o) However, his princess wasn't just in his story. She came with us to clean up his toys and then laid down to take a nap. He even asked me to give her hugs & kisses and cover her up with her blanket!
It's moments like these that bring me back into the reality of why I am a stay at home mom and why I do what I do. I've been so extremely tired these past couple of weeks and Jax has really been trying my patients. But I was reminded today of how important investing into our children really is! :D
