Kids say the Sweetest Things

Peter said a week or so ago, "I made a blog for you." I said, "what am I going to write in a blog?"

Tonight at dinner he said you could write all the great things that our kids say.

Peter's car cratered today. He had it towed and we went to pick him up. I told the kids on the way that Daddy's car broke down. Sweet Conleigh said, "I have a lot of money in my piggy bank that talks. I can get that out and help daddy buy a new car like the one he has already." I told her that was so sweet of her to say, and she responded with "I just want to make daddy happy."

I love these moments because lately she & Alex have plenty of not-so-sweet moments with each other. They are so mean to each other. Granted, Alex is pretty sensative and needs to toughen up, but they are after each other all day long.

Peter went out with a friend tonight, so I got the kids to bed. Alex came out after about 15 minutes for some water. Before he went back to his room, he said I want to kiss you. He came and kissed my arm and then turned his cheek to me for a kiss. I am so thankful for my wonderful children.
