5 on Friday

As always, here are 5 special reasons I'm loving my boys this week:

1. During our walk I called out the names of the streets as we turned on each one. When we got to our street I asked the boys what street we live on and what city we live in and they answered correctly. Then I asked what state we live in and Nate said "the United States".

2. Justin messed up the shoes I planned for him to wear so Carlene grabbed a new pair of Pumas from his closet and Carlene said he got so excited and started singing "I'm rocking in my new shoes" which is from his new favorite Pete the Cat book.

3. Nathan was hovering over me while I laid in the bed so I asked for a kiss and he gave me one and then said "I love you mommy, want another kiss?"

4. Nate had a major tantrum/meltdown because I wouldn't sit in his room with him and started banging on the wall.  I was sitting in the hallway to make sure he didn't completely damage his room and broke down crying. I heard Justin say from our room "poor mommy, it's okay".

5. Nate had a knot on his head from a mosquito bite. Carl wiped his head with alcohol and Nate said "I need mommy to call the Dr". When Carl asked why, was it cause of the bump Nate said "yeah, we need to call the Dr."
