And I'm nice too...

I just had to share a funny story about my little guy, J.J. I was up the other night until almost 2 in the morning doing homework. At about 5:30 in the morning, Jaren woke me up, and told me he didn't know what to do for J.J. and could I get up? So I did. He was complaining about his tummy hurting. I sat him on the couch, got him a bowl, and told him that, yes, he could watch a movie. That was when he started spilling his stomach contents. And then did it again and again and again. He was crying and saying that he didn't like it. When we got everything cleaned up and a movie on for him, I told him that he was doing so good. That was when he said (between sobs), "And I'm nice too."

I just had to laugh. That moment made getting between 3 and 4 hours of sleep that night worth it. What a sweetheart. I hope he always thinks of himself that way...I certainly always will.

That is so very sweet. Way to instill self-respect in your kids. I hope he feels better from his sad tummy, but I hope he never stops feeling good about himself.
