La-Boo

A few days ago Hyrum started saying 'I love you' without being prompted. He's such a sweet boy. 

At random times throughout the day he will come up to me, rest his head on my shoulder, hug my leg, or give me a smooch and say, 

"I La-boo...Mommy" 

Those soft spoken words melt my heart every time. 

Today he must have sensed I was having a hard day because I got showered with hugs, kisses, cuddles and expressions of love. 

He was kind of having a hard day too and constantly wanted up to cuddle.

He woke up from his nap very upset, so I asked if he needed a cuddle. The house was quiet, it was just the two of us awake. 

I cherish moments like this with each of my children. 

Sometimes I forget how often they need that and I have to make a conscious effort throughout my day to pause what I am doing for some snuggle time with each of them. 

Today I was happy to snuggle with Hyrum on the big chair in the living room and hear him giggle and whisper

 "La-boo... Mommy" in my ear.

Voluntary expressions of love are the greatest!

I also had a friend who must have sensed I was having a rough day today. She sent me some beautiful tulips to enjoy. She's the best!
