A New Discovery

Today I was getting ready in our bathroom and Jax had just gotten out of the tub and was nakey. He was in the other room watching, "Word World." He came in pinching his "button" aka nipple:) between his thumb and pointer finger. He looked like he had something brilliant to say...I knew it was going to be good...He looked up and me and with a look of enchantment and said after a long pause, "Want some?" I thought I was going to have an accident right there on the floor.

So to explain the meaning: Jaxon still remembers nursing. It's crazy but he will lay on my lap and say, "I want some Mama!" We haven't nursed for two years (for everyone out there who thinks I nurse my 3-year-old). When he was a baby I used to lay him on my lap when he was panting, kicking, and smacking those cute little lips--SO excited (every mom who has ever nursed knows that pant, it's my favorite) to nurse. Then one of my "lines" was, "Oh, do you want some?" There was a certain inflection and tone of my voice that doesn't quite capture on the screen here, but it was such a cute memory of baby Jaxon. As soon as he heard that, he knew it was time:) It's almost like this morning, after three years, he realized he indeed had some equipment that can be utilized for "Want some? time."

There is absolutely NOTHING in this world that beats being a Mama. I love it more than I ever dreamt possible. My teeth and jaw ache by the end of the day from all the gritting of the teeth. (You know when you love something or someone so much that your jaw clenches and sometimes even shakes?? Try it now...it's called "explosive love.")
