"You look pretty Mommy" he says to me, completely out of the blue. I was so surprised by this that I had to ask him to repeat himself. I wonder what he saw in that moment that led him to say that. Was it the way my hair was blowing in the breeze? The way I was smiling at him as I watched him on the swing? Or maybe all little boys think their mommies are pretty and I am just completely over-thinking it. (I have a habit of doing that - of trying to figure out just exactly how his mind works).
We are all about feelings these days and so I tell him that he made Mommy feel happy when he said that. I want him to understand the power his words have to make someone feel something - both positive and negative. I find myself hoping that if he has a girlfriend or wife some day he will regularly make her feel the way I did in that moment. Special. Beautiful. Loved.
Awesome.
