The sweetest soul I know is in the 4 year old body of my son, Joshua.
Today, in a department store I asked him what he was going to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas. He told me, "You have to wait and see..." As we walked by a display of earrings and baubles he turns to me and says, "But I know what I will get you for Christmas, mama. And I will have daddy drive me to the store to buy it!"
"Oh really?" I replied. "Are you going to tell me or let it be a secret?"
"Okay, I will tell you. It's earrings!" He exclaimed with a grin of satisfaction.
But then he does it again this afternoon.
As he walked out the door to play with his best buddy he stopped and turned, "I forgot something..."
"What did you forget buddy?"
Without a word he stepped toward me, arms out-stretched, then wrapped those arms around my legs for a Joshy-squeeze. {swoon}
My heart swells with love to have such a sweet soul for a 4 year.
