My son is so funny.

He is wild, LOUD, and very tactile.  He has to touch everything and everyone!

This gets him in to trouble, but is also the trait that makes him not think twice about to giving me a kiss or a hug in front of his buddies.

He is so very caring and thoughtful too.

The other night when we were eating dinner I made something new.  I watched as he took a bite and he made a little face.

“What’s wrong, don’t you like it,” I ask…he is quiet for a minute and doesn’t really say yes or no but instead looking at me and reading the expression on my face (he can tell I want him to like it) he says this:

“Thank you for making dinner for us every night, so we can be healthy.  Thank you for buying the clothes we like.  You always get the toys we like at the store too.  You are a special mom and no one is the same as you,”

I swear on all that I am, that is what came out of his mouth!

The words every mother longs to hear, I almost cried right there.

Sensitive boys/men come in all packages. I am sure many people who have spent time with my son as he is yelling and wrestling with every boy insight, would be shocked to hear this.

But I know my sweet sensitive son, and I know this is how he really thinks even if others don’t always see it on the outside.

I just wished I had a secret nanny cam going!
