Stronger Hugs

Today's Tiny Treasure: Last night when Scott was hugging Levi for night night; Levi told him, "I can do a stronger hug". Then proceeded to squeeze Scott with all of his might. It was precious.

I think the world could learn bunches from my little man. We could all use some stronger hugs.

Thank God for Weebles!

Today's Tiny Treasure: About a month ago my brother and sister-in-law returned a toy we had shared with their kiddos when Eden and Levi out grew it. We packed it up, brought it home and I put it out in the garage. It was always a favorite toy of ours, so I tucked it away in the hope that my grandbabies, many years from now, would play with the old treasure.

Levi caught glimpse of the somewhat hidden Weeble Village this afternoon and asked if he could bring it in! "Absolutely!", I said - with memories of one-year-old Eden dancing to the happy Weeble music racing through my mind.

He brought it in, set it up and soon recruited his sister to join him! They made up little stories, had the weebles carrying on crazy bathroom related conversations, put the weebles in a long line to ride the weeble plane, had a crazy game of weeble bowling in the kitchen, and maintained the slide and moving sidewalks when the village had a "break down". Literally two hours of play on a toy I thought they had out grown!

My heart swelled. The simple joy of knowing that they are still so young and innocent. They are still my babies. It was such a happy moment for me. I am so grateful for my kids, for the love they share and for the fun they have when they play. Thank you, God for Weebles!
