My Very First Gift!

Mama's rock....


Okay, Liam totally made my day today. I have taught him (of course :) ) to say "Mama rocks!" Well, when he went down to the park with Taylor today, he picked up a rock and said "Mama's rock." He insisted carrying it around the whole time and then bringing it home for me and kept telling Taylor "Mama's rock."

This is the first gift that he has picked out for me all on his own and is already sitting on my desk in it's own special spot. I included a picture of him showing me the rock he picked out. :)

To top it off, we were playing tonight and I pretended to make a sad sound and he stopped dead in his tracks, ran over to me, and began rubbing my back saying "You okay? You okay?" It was the first time he has done something like this.

And as a finale, he sat in the rocker with me and let me read him two books beginning to end. He NEVER does this with me...which just about kills me as a teacher. It was the best end to a day ever!!

My Mr. Man is just so sweet.
