i'll be forever your girl…{for as long as you'll have me}
He spent the day with his Grandparents, Sunday, he and his little brother.
They played at the park, were spoiled at the store, and helped Grandpa build & create.
They both had a lot of fun… always do.
In the middle of his play date the phone rang here. My husband answered, it was my father-in-law… soon after, my husband called out for me, "phone".
It's Nicky…
I gave him a perplexed look and answered the call.
Hello?
Hi Mama.
Hi honey.
Silence.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Silence.
How is your day going, Mama?
Good.
{i smile}
Love you, Mama.
Love you too honey.
Bye.
Bye.

Last night my husband was gone working, so it was me and my lonesome holding down the fort.
After a long day getting lost downtown in route to a specialist appointment, blood work, and traffic on the way back, I just wanted to relax and be alone.
The baby went down easily.
My middle son fell asleep quickly.
Not my oldest, Nicky.
He was awake.
Wide.
The rain scared him.
The dark.
He wandered out to the living room where I was.
We finished watching Jason and Molly's Wedding together.
During the wedding I day dreamed about our vow renewal ceremony and what that would look like for us.
My husband and I have said we'll renew our vows on our 10th year wedding anniversary. It's 2 years away but fun to think about and dream about.
I thought about having my two older boys walk me down the aisle and my baby being the ring boy, or somehow part of the ceremony too.
During the show my boy and I began talking about "mommy and daddy getting married again" and what he'd like to see.
"Me and Zanie would walk you down the aisle and Dash would be with Daddy."
Sometimes I feel we share the same brain.
And always the same heart.
We had a "sleep over party" in the living room that night.
He on a special "bed" of blankets and pillows on the floor, me on the couch.
It was special.
Just like him.
Just like our relationship.
May it always be this sweet.

Oh Nell – how I love reading your posts. It brings me back to a time when my kids were little – I can almost feel the tightness of their hugs, smell their baby breath, and hear them say "I love you Mommy!" in their cutest little voice. It makes me teary-eyed … kids grow up too fast. Enjoy them … hug them like there's no tomorrow because before you know it … they'll have their own life and then you'll long for those "hugs and kisses". My hubby and I renewed our vows in 2003 and it was wonderful to have my babies celebrate the momentous day with us.

I remember phone calls like that. Such a sweet way to record the memory, too.
Specialist appointments always seem to take a lot out of a person emotionally, don't they? Sounds like your little man was there to save the day again. I hope all is well with you.

That is so sweet. Yes, it's it just the best feeling the world when you have a closeness that almost seems as though you are one especially with your child. Love you picture too. My baby is 9 now and I still carry him even though he's almost as tall as me. It's the most special feeling in the world, a mommy and her son have.

Awww sooo sweet! You really have a way with words and always tell such a beautiful story, Nell. Your boys are adorable!
So where do you think you'll have this vow renewal? Kev and I had ours on a beach in Jamaica if you recall and it was THE most awesome day of our lives.
