There are days when, as a parent, you get a “special kid
moment.” These are the very special moments when something sweet, nice,
wonderful and just all around adorable happens. Today I was blessed with three
special kid moments, and each one just warmed my heart.
The first one happened with my son, Jesse. I gave him a
cardboard cutout of a heart. After some thought, he gave it back to me. When I
asked him why, he said, “Because I love you.”
Awww. That was so sweet!
The second one was with a neighbor girl. We have known this
little girl (age 7) for some time and my kids often play with her. Today she
had a surprise for me. She made sure she had my attention then started to sign!
She was using SIGN LANGUAGE! Apparently, this little girl had decided to learn
how to sign so that she could communicate with her deaf neighbor. That was so
very cool. It just melted my heart.
The third “special kid moment” was with my daughter,
Jennifer. I gave her a hug and, just as I was starting to unembrace, she shook
her head, pulled me close to her again and hugged me tight. She gave me a bear
hug! That was nice.
