Everyone always says the way to a mans heart is through his stomach. Well that also seems to be the way to my "little" mans heart.
So there I sit writing my usual shopping list with Nathan by my side helping me. You see he always writes his own list then translates to me his illegible yet beautiful 4 year old penmanship. I'll always listen carefully as he repeats the same things to me week after week. I need grapes, and cheese puffs, cookies, and apples and don't forget my chocolate milk he persuasively reminds me. So off I went on my excursion to the grocery store with his list and my list at hand. I walk through the isles grabbing the repeats and as I reach for Nathans chocolate milk I pause and begin to smile. You see there alone on a shelf in the dairy fridge sits a 1/2 gallon of Nestle Quick chocolate milk. At that moment in my head I have a flash back of wide eyed Nathan telling me enthusiastically how only Wendys has his favorite chocolate milk. And Well Friday My little man did an amazing job as he sat through another grueling eye exam and I figured he deserved something a little special so why not. I grabbed the 1/2 gallon of "liquid gold" tossed it in the cart and finished the dreadful shopping trip. Upon returning home I unload the grocery's from the car (that's even more dreadful then shopping) and called Nathan to the kitchen. He steps out of the bathroom still dripping wet from his shower and wrapped in nothing but a towel. I tell him that mom got him something special and pulled the chocolate milk from the bag. At that very moment my son drops his towel and begins jumping up and down naked in the middle of the kitchen while yelling "that's my favorite chocolate milk I'm so excited!" As if that was not already enough to bring a smile to any mothers face the words that followed surely would have. And those priceless words were ........................................
