Reason #4623

As if I needed another reason to love my oldest son, this morning he just melted my heart. Anxious to get outside to play in the snow, he was more ansty than usual as I tried to get him dressed (in what seemed like 12 layers to keep him warm). I'll be the first to admit that I was struggling and starting to get frustrated, but then he looked down at me, in my disheveled state, sitting on the floor in front of him and said, "Mommy, you look beautiful this morning." He didn't care that I was still in my pajamas, hadn't washed my face, and was wearing what shih-tzu owners affectionately refer to as a top-knot. What more could a mom ask for?
