homework!

It was a particularly stressful day, I'm not going to lie.  I had something due in ALL of my classes, and it was one of those days I just really needed Carter to cooperate so I could work.  I always knew I had a sweet boy....but his heart is just SO big.

I was at the kitchen table surrounded by notebooks, folders, handouts, you name it.  I was overwhelmed and frustrated and begging Carter to pick a cartoon to watch before naptime (YES I was using the tv as a babysitter...shoot me).  I heard some rustling around in the playroom, but I was so immersed in what I was doing, I didn't pay attention right away.

Until...my little guy walked in with HIS whole collection of notebooks, folders, pencils, pencil sharpener, eraser and paper...a big cheesy grin on his face.  I asked him what he was doing, and what cartoon he wanted to watch, and he says "I don't have time to watch tv, mom, I hafta do my homework with you." 

Be still my heart.

So there we sat...working away, every once in awhile looking up to catch a smile from the little boy that makes me smile and makes all my days brighter.  Thanks for doing your "homework" with me, little buddy.
