Have I mentioned I know the sweetest boy in the world? AND did I also mention he just happens to be my son? Well...yes...I may be a bit biased, but he raises my happy level all the time and has been known to genuinely give me the giggles for the 'littlest' things.
He's also been know to touch my heart so that he already knows the water works are impending. "That's gonna make you cry, isn't it mom?". Yep. Pretty much.
This weekend, he and D were playing video games in our bedroom and I walked through the room to put something up in the bathroom. Ben always, *always* acknowledges me when I walk through a room. This time was no different.
"'Sup mom?"
"Not much Ben, just putting some things away. Whatcha doin?" (knowing full well he's playing video games with his dad).
But his reply was not what I was expecting and everything I wanted to hear all at the same time, "Not much. Just hangin out with my best friend."
Awwwwwwww! GOD he loves his daddy. Idolizes him. Watches every move. Every word. Memorizes him.
Later while we were sitting on the couch talking with D's mom, Ben snuggled up between us and I kept playing with his hair while Nana just rubbed his feet.
"Why are y'all rubbing all over me?" he asked laughing.
"Because you are finally sitting still with us instead of playing video games or somewhere else in the house!" I answered.
D's mom went on to tell us a story where at one point in D's life, he asked her to kind of keep her distance from him in public so he wouldn't be embarrassed being seen with his mom. :-) Nothing too unfamiliar for a youngster, right?
Ben looked shocked, but with a smile on his face. She told him she was just warning me in case Ben ever did that to me, though we both doubted he ever would (trying to convince him not to!).
Once again, a reply he whispered in my ear that I will always keep in my heart..."You're my mom! I love you and will always want to be with you. I'll always have your back, too, mom." then winked at me.
Same to you, sweet Ben. xoxoxoxoxo
