New Thing We Do

Griffin and Hayden have been great distractors from all of the sadness over the past month.

3-year-old Hayden and I now have a new "favorite thing we do" when I tuck him into bed. Here's what happens...

I get him under the covers, then he asks me to tell him a story. My stories are always about Hayden being in the middle of a sports game, where he makes the winning play. He loves it and beams from ear to ear.

Hayden then wants to be the one to tell the story. He begins telling me he is playing a soccer game, where he scores the winning goal. I end his story by saying with disbelief, "NO WAAAAY!" And Hayden says, "Yes, way." Then, he's a football player, runs a touchdown, and I say, "No WAAAAY!" Hayden responds, "Yes, way." And so it goes, till we run out of sports.

This happened again last night, and as I left his room, he said, "Love you, Momma." "NO WAAAAY!" I told him.

"Yes, way," he said with a grin.
