Last night Vincey made me laugh out loud....literally. He has been at that fun age where, when he is finished with dinner, he feels the need to dump his bowl onto the floor to show that he is literally 'all done'. Apparently dinner is not done until his bowl is empty. We have worked so hard to break him of this habit & yesterday I finally succeeded.....well....sort of. As he was finishing up his meal, he decided he didn't like the bread he had to go with his pasta, so, without saying a word, he lifts his plate and dumps it onto his older brother's as he said 'here'. When half the bread fell onto the table, he used his chunky little fingers to pick each piece up and put it nicely onto his brother's plate. When every last piece was placed safely off of his own plate he lifted his now empty plate with pride as he announced 'all done'.
After dinner, hubby took the boys up to give them a bath. When he came back down, he told me that we had made the right decision by me leaving my job to stay home with the boys. It filled me with so much pride. I have secretly worried that the change in finances would take its toll on him & he would regret our decision, so hearing this was such a blessing. He then told me that the boys were upstairs putting vasaline on their lips when Vincey took the container from daddy and proceeded to put it on himself, then turned to Dom motioning with his lips for Dom to pucker up. When he did, Vincey put vasaline on his lips too. To watch our boys grow, to see Vincey reach milestones he had been so delayed on before.....for it to be such huge leaps so quickly, this is what we are doing it all for. How amazing life is. How wonderful parenthood is. I smile because I live an amazing life, but I am just a soccer mom who lives for her children (with a few moments for me in between). These boys and the things they do, they are the reason I smile & mean it!
