Fallen in love

2 weeks & I'm sunk. I've fallen in love with a 3 year old. The crazy thing is that he is a biting, spiting, scream at me kind of kid. The not so crazy is the way he snuggles up in my lap and calls me his Nina. Fixing lunch & he has the vacuum cleaner out, plugged in, & attempting to use, all in a few minutes time. He's in my bathroom & Todd is getting ready. He has Todd's toothbrush in hand & I grab it & throw it away. Turning my back so I face the trash can, he grabs Todd's chapstick. Todd asks if he comes in here often. I can't help but giggle.
And how does one fall in love in 2 weeks time? I guess my MVP of the week is the reason. Lucas has been extraordinary. He has been patient, kind, and ever so helpful with the lil kids. He has absolutely saved the day several times. He even made homemade choc chip cookies all by himself today. See, he turned out so good. Who would have thought that the biting, spiting, 3 year old boy would have turned out so fabulous. Actually I knew it all along but boy have we had some rough roads. Melanie, I wish you were here to see the newest Curious George in the house. Talked to case manager & Z & KK will probably go to their family member's home at the beginning of next week. I get teary just thinking about it. I am going to have to really concentrate to turn this worry over to God. God is so good.
I know that rest & normalcy have finally been restored in our house. I am all caught up on the Young & the Restless.
