My guys were fixing to start a game of Spiderman Uno. The offered me a spot on the floor to join in the game but I passed on account of there being dishes to clean.
Sawyer came to me in the kitchen and said, "It seems so unfair, mom."
Me: "What does?"
Sawyer: "That Daddy seems more popular but you're doing so much work and not getting any credit. So, I can give you [a hug] to show I appreciate you, and I can say things I enjoy doing with you. I enjoy playing Monopoly with you, playing Uno with you, talking with you..."
Me: "Well, thank you, Sawyer. That means a lot to me."
Sawyer: [smiles] "You're welcome."
He really does get it. He may not always acknowledge it- he is human after all- but the times when he does, and does it of his own accord, I know it's straight from his heart.
Lord, what you are working out within him is blessing us. Thank you for the privilege of being Sawyer's mom! Amen
