One of those moments

I had one of those moments today. The moment when you're so overwhelmingly glad to be a parent to such an amazing kid.

It was after lunch and I took Jack upstairs for his nap. We have a pretty set routine for nap and bedtime and Jack loves it. We always read a story and there is a pile of books next to the rocker. He chooses a book (usually Toy Story, but that was out in the hall) and today it was "Love You Forever." He began to climb up in my lap and I said, "don't you need Kitty? And Moo-Cow? What about your blanket?" He looked around and found his blanket gave it to me and then grabbed Kitty from his crib and meowed and ran across the room.

Then I said, "if you're not going to sit with me, I will just have to read to Moo-Cow" and began to read the book.

He ran over to me, said "mooo!" and climbed in my lap. He grabbed his cow and the book from me, opened it and began babbling. I almost cried because it was such an awesome moment. I'm raising a reader!

I am so lucky to be his mommy!
