Dear Zachariah,

My little love, you made my day today!!

After getting disciplined for disobedience this morning I was able to reward you this afternoon for being super obedient. I love getting to reward you. It's just a reminder of how much our Father wants to reward us...and how much we must disappoint Him when we continue to go our own way. Anyway, after I told you about your reward you got so excited and started jumping up and down. Then you pointed your sweet finger at me and yelled, "that's my mommy!!" Little man, I gotta tell you...you have made my heart skip many beats in the past, but it was nothing like this. I know how it feels to be so unbelievably proud of your mom and that's what it felt like this morning...that you were proud I was your mommy. You made me feel so loved. I just can't even describe it. You do such a good job of making me feel loved, I pray I can do as good a job making you feel that way too.

I love love love you,

Mama


I have since realized that you were not saying "that's my mommy", but you were actually saying "yes ma'am mommy". That's ok though. I know you love me :) 2/26/13
