What my son reminded me of....

The other day I was venting about my son, but today I have to praise him.  Everyday my son and I hug a bunch and we have specific times that we always hug on top of the extra ones in between.  We hug when he gets up in the am, before he leaves for school, when he comes home from school, before he goes to bed or anytime one of us leaves the house to go somewhere.  I know I have to remind him to pick up his shoes or put away his clothes or make his bed, but lately he has been reminding me that he needed his morning hug or I forgot to hug him when he got home from school.   I am so worried about the shoes, or the bed ,but he had to remind me of the most important thing in life...showing people you love them...and we do that through hugs.  So sometimes I need to let the bed not be made and not remind him and let the shoes sit in the kitchen where I trip over them because I am in awe of my son that I have been able to teach him the most valuable lesson in life that showing people you love them is more important than those other silly things that can wait.  That the most important thing in our life is a hug.......I am the luckiest mom in the world!
