What can I say about this little boy of mine? He has been a bit much for me lately. He's busy as can be and wants to be independent. He throws tantrums. He tells me 'no, no, no'. He's not napping as well and he refuses to go to bed until his brothers are going to bed (which has become quite late on these summer nights). He colors on my floors and his clothes. He takes the dvd cases out of the cabinet multiple times a day, scattering them across the room. He asks over and over for my phone or the ipad and cries when I tell him 'no'. He wants to pour his own milk and get his own water from the fridge, spilling it every time. He doesn't want to sit in his seat in the car and cries and arches his back when I make him get buckled in.
But...
I get to rock him more before bed time/nap time since he doesn't want to go to sleep and I get to watch him drift off into sweet slumber. It's a sweet moment to watch a child sleeping in your arms.
He has started saying "I hold you" when he wants me to hold him.
He sings throughout the day and it makes me smile every time.
His smile and laugh come easily.
He likes to dance and even asks to play 'Just Dance' to get his groove on.
He makes funny faces that he knows people enjoy.
He caresses my cheeks and belly with the softest touch.
And all these things fill my heart with more joy and love than I could ever even hope for.

It's amazing how they can drive you sooo crazy but make you melt and you can't image life without them. He's such a sweet boy.
