I think I can say I witnessed the sweetest thing I have ever seen last night. Matt came home from soccer practice and I walked Alex outside to say hi to him. He wanted to mow the back yard before it got dark so I took Alex inside. He fussed a little that I made him come inside and tried to get me to take him back out. He even brought me my flip flops and his shoes so we could go out. I didn't want to get in Matt's way since he was in the back yard so I kept Alex inside.
Then it happened. Alex went to the back door and would catch a glimpse of Matt every once in a while as he went across the yard. He would run back toward me, say "dada" and point out back and then run back to the door. Matt saw him standing at the door and when he would get in sight, he would make a funny face at him and Alex would just cackle and laugh. Matt said he could hear him laugh all the way outside. Then when Matt was out of sight, he would whine just a little. This got to me so I gave in and decided to take him out. When I grabbed his shoes the excitement rippled through him. It was visible how extremely excited he was.
So out we went and he just sat in my lap and watched Matt mow. He would still laugh when he would look at him and thought it was the greatest thing. There is nothing like seeing Matt with the kids. It makes me fall in love with him over and over again every time I see moments like this.
