Do all little boys steal your hearts? After six girls it’s hard to know whether we are just really biased about him or if he’s just a typical sweet/mean/silly/energetic boy. The lighting is terrible in these photos but I love them because of the candid moment they capture. Semisweet grabbed the camera Wednesday evening as Special Dark decided he needed to love on mom a little. He started off by pointing first to me then himself while saying “You mine.” (You are mine) Then he gave me a huge squeeze. Please don’t say anything about his little arms not being able to reach around mom’s wide shoulders. And a big old smack. The best part? He did it over and over again.
Quite a change from Saturday. While listening to Shannon and Dean Hale I looked down just in time to see Special Dark turn around and kick a little girl who was sitting there reading a book. I promptly grabbed him up and took him out where I talked to him about being nice and not kicking. I then asked him, “Why are you being a bad boy?” He shook his head and said “Mean boy!” Well, I guess he really knows what he was doing.
Why did he decide to kick? Just two weeks ago in nursery (the baby class at church) he played the role of knight in shining armor. One little girl, H, was trying to take another littler girl, B, to her mom. B wasn’t liking it one bit but H wouldn’t let her go. Special Dark saw what was happening got up from playing with his truck and went over and started pulling B away from H. H let her go and ran off. B looked at Special Dark and said “Thank you.” He smiled, turned around, and with chest puffed out went back to playing with his truck.

You’re right – little boys steal hearts. And make trouble one second while being angelic the next. Those are seriously adorable pictures.

I love, love, love my little man. They have a special way of wrapping themselves around their mama’s hearts. We also had 6 girls before our little man came along. It is still a shock and complete joy to just look at him (almost 3 years later).

ohhhh, what a sweet story. As nursery leader in our ward right now I can tell you he would steal my heart!

I would say that all little boys, despite their order in the family line, steal their mothers hearts away. I am a mother to three boys (4, 2, and 8 months), and they all have their little ways of pulling on my heart strings to just make me melt. It must be an inherent feature 🙂 (my husband would add that its there to keep them alive!).

Yes! I firmly believe little boys steal their mother’s hearts and the other way around too!
If you haven’t already, go read the post called “Unrequited” (it was posted on the 17th) on http://www.blog.cjanerun.com. It is SO true!

My little Hen is like this. He gives the tightest hugs and so many kisses and then promptly goes and climbs the walls or something. I often think his cuteness is what saves him.
Very cute and loving little guy but Wow! can he cause mischief. Gotta love our cute little boys.
