Yesterday, Carter was very upset about something. He was in tears and I hurt for him. His feelings were hurt. To help him forget about it, I put the two younger children down for naps and took off with him. Thankfully, Cody was working from home. We shared a strawberry milkshake, his request, at Chick-fil-a. As I sat across the booth from him, sharing the shake with two different straws, I mentally took a picture of the moment. A moment I don't want to forget as his mother. A moment that will remind me of how I can make things better, at the age of 4, with a strawberry milkshake. Then we took off for the library, his favorite place. He was happy.

THat's what proves you're his mom, you know just what to do to soothe him!
That is so sweet. It's good to be reminded to enjoy those moments of bonding with your children. I hope the sweet boy feels better (and hopefully it was nothing that we caused :-)
