When we're helping, we're happy, and we sing as we go...

I had another 'first' today. Taught Sam how to do his own laundry! He stripped his own bed, loaded the sheets and a few dirty shirts and things into the washer, turned it on, added the soap and shut the lid! Can I just tell you how wonderful that is!!! After nine years of taking care of every little itsy bitsy detail of his life...he can now do his own laundry! Wow, I'm really ecstatic, can you tell? ;)

Although, the day for him to leave on his mission is 9 years away, it'll fly by so fast. I keep telling him that I'm not going to be able to go on his mission with him just to fold his blanky the way he likes it. And he laughs and laughs. But oh I will miss him so. I already miss him so much on the nights he goes to his dad's house. What will I do when he's gone for two years? Wow, I'm already getting sad about that. Now is the time to savor each minute. I can't believe my baby boy is 9.

Took the kids to see Hotel For Dogs tonight. They all loved it but at one point in the show, all three of them were crying...I have some very sensitive children with huge hearts. I love them all so much. I am one lucky mom! TTFN. (For we love to help mother, for we all love her so!)
