What a sweet little guy you have!

I’m glad you don’t make a big deal out of him wanting to wear the shorts; he’ll learn!

I love the sentiment you weave into every word you write. Reading this makes me even happier that we decided to fill our house with little people. Parenthood really is the grandest adventure of them all, and you reflect it so eloquently.

Amen and Halleluia! It’s those moments of clarity when I actually see that my kids really do adore me as much as I adore them that make this job of being a Mom easier.

My kids would freeze RIGHT TO DEATH if I sent them to school in shorts right now!
What a beautiful, loving post – so aching and true and full of maternal joy. I just adored it.

Perhaps this is a boy thing? (The shorts, not the love!!) My boys aren’t very interested in coats, despite the fact that the down comforters are on and I’m wrapped up like a mummy. I don’t get it.

I do get the love part, though, and you wrote about it beautifully. Good job, mom!

Good for you for volunteering at school – I bet he was so proud!
