A Conversation with AJ

Today was an unusual day after lunch with my son, AJ. On a typical day AJ eats his lunch and then gets this huge burst of energy and does laps through the kitchen, living room, and hallway. Today was different, he sat and chatted with me. It was one of those moments I will hold onto for the rest of my life.

He looked at me and said "Mommy, I got to tell you something".

I said "What AJ?".

AJ says "Did you know that water can't break?"

I was in shock here, this is a 3 year old!! I said "Yes, I guess your right AJ!"

He then says "I have to tell you something else Mommy."

"OK, tell me." I said

AJ says "Did you know when water freezes it can break?"

In total shock again... I agreed with him.

After this conversation he decided he wanted to sit on my lap. Anyone that knows AJ, knows he doesn't do this with me or anyone really. He then wanted us to touch noses, chins, and cheeks. He then gave me about 10 of the most wonderful kisses on my lips. He told me a few times "Mommy you are so pretty".

It was a moment I will never forget and made me fall even deeper in love with him. Something about little boys and their Mommy's -- they become your little loves.
