My 6yr old says some of the sweetest things some times.  He is often quite a rascal and by the time he was a year old, earned himself the nickname "Ryan the Destroyer".  But just when you think you are getting angry with him, he says something that just stops you in your tracks.

Last night I told him I had to kiss the top of his head goodnight because I'm sick and don't want him to get sick.  He said he didn't mind getting sick as much as he minds seeing me feel sick....but that wasn't the part that really got to me.  The next thing he said really gave me pause.  He said "Mommy, sometimes I say I hate you but you better know that in my heart I still love you".  Pretty deep for a 6yr old don't you think?!

I know a lot of adults that haven't been able to voice such truth about their feelings.  I think my sons are going to turn out to be pretty fine gentlemen.  Now I have a little girl to worry about screwing up!
