Sweet moment's of a three year old

Here's just some sweet moment's that I wanted to remember......
One that I don't have a picture of is that last week Jeffrey was playing the trick you do with your thumb and finger (ya know to make it look like you pulled off the top of your thumb). Well, Tyler tried to do it but he couldn't and Jeffrey said, "Huh, how come my finger pulls apart and yours doesn't?". To which Tyler replied, "It's okay daddy, that's just how God made you!".


Tyler is allowed to sleep with us early in the morning or at night when he's had a bad dream. But one night last week at bedtime he wouldn't let it go that he couldn't sleep in our bed. So we put him to bed and went about doing what we needed to do. Well, when I get ready to go to bed this is what I found. Tyler had pushed daddy's pillow on the floor and carried in Elmo, his silky, his pillow and his drink and was fast asleep on my pillow (which is where he always sleeps on our bed). So in the morning we talked about why he had done that and I ask him, "Why do you like sleeping in mommy's bed and on mommy's pillow so much?". And he touched my cheek and tilted his head and said, "Because it smells like you."

Tyler likes to sit in the crib with Maddie every now and then. And on this particular day he wanted to sit in there and play this game with her that he made up where you "call" the ice cream truck (which is the caterpillar here in the picture) and he'll bring you ice cream. Seriously, we've been know to play this game for 30 minutes at a time! Well, I went to brush my teeth while they were playing and when I came back Tyler had his back turned to the door and was talking softly to Maddie so I stopped to listen and watch. He was holding her foot and sweetly doing the this little piggy game with her toes! I shed a tear. Then when she got tired of that and started fussing he laid down and kissed her and said, "It's okay Maddie, brother's here, it's alright Maddie."

Okay, so Sunday after Church I picked Tyler up from class and he hands me this picture he's colored and is carrying this wadded up napkin. I ask to see his picture and he tells me it's for me and so is what is in the napkin. I ask him if he'll hold on to it until we get home b/c my hand's were full and I couldn't look right then. Well when we were walking in the door at home he tried to give me the napkin again but Maddie was screaming so I ask him to sit it on the table and we'll look after I put her to sleep. Long story short he forgot about it and so did I until they were both asleep and I see the napkin on the table. I tell Jeffrey that I feel bad for forgetting because he's tried to give it to me all morning but I didn't have the time to look so he says's let's see what it is. I open it up to find a single goldfish that he had saved for me from his Bible class snack! How sweet is that?! Once again I cried! I just love how sweet and thoughtful he is.
