I am obsessed with my son. Tonight as I was putting him to bed, he scooted closer to me and whispered, “Mommy, could you cuddle with me closer?’ So I put his arm around him and put my face literally right next to his cheek so my lips were touching his cheek and a moment later, he fell asleep. See? How can I not love this sweet, tender, affectionate boy of mine?
The other day he told me, “I love you, daddy loves you, Adi loves you, Ana loves you, everybody in the family loves you!” and also, “Mommy, you are the best mommy ever! I don’t ever want another mommy, I just want you.” OBSESSED, I tell you! My heart is literally hurting right now because he’s in bed and I miss him! But then again, in the day I dream of some alone time. Motherhood can be so fickle.
I always knew I was going to have a little boy. I just felt it in my heart that there was a boy waiting to come to our family. So when we got the ultrasound and found out it was a boy, I was ecstatic. I already knew the name I was going to name him. And I wished that he would grow up to be a mama’s boy. I think it’s adorable when I see men treat their moms so good and they’re a mama’s boy. Not an extreme mama’s boy of course, but a man who adores his mother and treats her like a queen, all while still being able to make his own decisions and stand up for himself.
But our boy is such a daddy’s boy. Always has been since he was born. And while I am so happy that they have this tight, unbreakable bond and it makes me so happy to see them together, a part of me wishes he was a mama’s boy! Do any of you feel the same way? Are any of your kids a daddy’s girl/boy?
Our son started Preschool recently and with the weather slightly cooler, he loves going out and getting dirty. It’s like he needs a quick bath before the real bath before bedtime. So in the day when he’s dirty but we can’t give him a bath just yet because he’s going to get dirty anyway by the time bath time rolls around, we like using JOHNSON’S® HEAD-TO-TOE™ Cleansing Cloths to clean him up. These cleansing cloths are pre-moistened, paraben- and phthalate-free and 2x bigger than a typical baby wipe so you can give them an easy, quick bath whenever your baby needs it. These can be used anywhere from in the car, on the bed, on the couch while they’re watching cartoons, anywhere! The scent is a nice smell even though I do wish it wasn’t as strong, I am very sensitive to smell and prefer very mild or no scented products. But these are perfect to take to camping as well, we plan on going camping one more time before Summer officially ends and will be bringing these along with us!
