Mother's Day...

"Stick you finger up your nose." I said. (to take a picture for this post)

"Okay."
"Well, that was easy." I thought.
I don't know why I was surprised. He wasn't even coerced on Sunday.

Mother's Day Sunday, like usual, all the cute primary children from church, stand upon the stand and sing to their moms. When it came time, we sent Roman up there. It was his first time signing in sacrament so he was a little nervous. He started up there, but got shy and stopped halfway.

"Go help him up there." I said to Todd, nudging him a couple times.

He got to Roman and lead him the rest of the way up. Todd sat on the stand, to the side of all the kids and kept telling Rome to go over and sing. Rome eventually finds his way over to the rest of the kids, but instead of singing, he stuck his finger up his nose.
When he gets shy or nervous, he always pulls his hands up to his face, to kind of hide behind. This however, was taking it to a whole new level!

Even though I don't think he even sang one word, (that I could see) I couldn't stop smiling. He made me so happy! I've always enjoyed watching the primary kids sing in sacrament meeting, but having Rome up there made it the cutest thing in the world!

When he got back I kissed him and said "You did such a great job, Buddy!"
"Yeah, I know."
He's humble too.

I had several people come up afterward, telling me their favorite part was Roman.
"I had him practice at home." I joked.

I love my kiddos more than I ever would have thought. The silly things they do and say, make my whole life! The kisses and snuggles none of us can get enough of, the pestering and crying that drive me insane, all of it has given me a better life than I could have ever hoped for.

Honestly though, I could not have asked for a better mother's day present.
Even with his finger up his nose.
