My sweet boy

Richard has his moments of being a 5-year-old boy. All kids do. Then, he comes out and says things that melt my heart. When we got home on Sunday he said, "Tomorrow for family night, we need to draw pictures of why we love each other because now we're back together as a family."

Then, my Mom told me that he noticed Audrey's candy was almost all gone. He gets a lot more these days as he goes to preschool and friend's birthday parties. So, he said, "I can share my candy with Audrey since she doesn't have any." He said this without any prompting! He voluntarily said that! What a sweetie!

He loves to cuddle in bed with me. He often asks for me to stay longer on his bed and gets upset that I wake up earlier than he does in the morning. He'll ask me to "pet" him, which means to stroke his head.

I love my little boy and hope he is always this sweet!
