Today B attended an early Sacrament meeting, C was passing the sacrament so he didn't sit with us, and L was on the stand singing with the choir. I looked around me, and am SOOOO grateful for my Jr. Team! What if I had not continued my family and had these last four little ones? My life is so wonderful! I am so grateful for family, and grateful for the memories we share together!
Today little J had to go to nursery all by himself for the first time! Wow! He cried, and I stood in the hall, with my heart breaking, wanting him to succeed, and not just be torn away from those he loves. I stood there in the hall, my heart crying out too that I don't want to be separated from my little ones! I wonder how our Father in Heaven ever let us come to earth? I know just how J feels, that is how I feel about big J! After long minutes of hearing him cry, I opened the door to find his embrace! Not much better than the warm, sincere, tight squeeze of a little one! I love that! I live for that! I hugged him there, finally sitting right down in the hallway to cherish this embrace! I will long remember our tight hug as he didn't want to let go! I finally convinced him that playing with the trains was better than going with me to my not so exciting :) Sunday School class. I promised him a... Treat from the treat drawer YEA! if he would go to his own class and not cry! He finally agreed after many hugs, more tears, and promises that I would come get him quickly after class was over! After prying him off my neck, he agreed to give me "rock" and went to his nursery class without a peep! They said he was perfect! I don't like being separated from my little ones either!
Prompted by how darling S & J were walking home, I ran into the house to get the camera at the end our meetings today. Sad, the picture of the boys didn't work!
Can you see S smiling? J's smile is just as big holding onto his Big Brother's hand, walking home. What a beautiful sight! I am sooo blessed! Thank you Father for sharing these little ones with me!S just came into my side, with big alligator tears in her eyes, saying that she misses J. Me too honey! I am so grateful we have cell phones, and that we can hear his voice to know he is ok! We miss you J!
