"you make you happy"

So much has been happening since I got back I can't seem to find the time to blog about my trip.  But I still want to, and I will- sometime.  Everything started breaking down when we got back- the toilet exploded out the back, the washer stopped working, the car windshield busted and of course my Mac died.  But miraculously it all got taken care of- and I'm happy to report the Mac was SAVED!  I lost NOTHING and my photography business didn't suffer.

I also started school up again!  I know what you are thinking... I'm thinking that too.  I'll be due at the very end of the semester- finals approaching and everything.  But I really think I can do it.  This means I probably won't get to crochet Hyrum his baby hat now but maybe I'll make like an old lady and do it during sacrament meeting.  Heh. jk.

But what REALLY happened today that I wanted to talk about was my sweet little man.  Brody seriously has a heart of gold and an amazing spirit about him.  Everyone who comes around him can't help but laugh or smile, he amazes me.

Today the weight of things got the better of me and I found myself sitting on the floor crying in the music room.  Brody followed me and noticed this right away- he said, "Mommy, you're crying... Don't be sad mommy."

He started wiping my tears away like I do to him.  Which of course made me cry even more because it was so tender and sweet.  He kept wiping my tears and he said "you make you happy".  He repeated that a few times before it hit me... I told him, "you're right Brody, I need to make myself happy, don't I?"

I love the lessons we learn in life- I wasn't expecting to learn so much almost 2 1/2 years ago when I brought this boy into our home.  I thought I would be the one doing all the teaching but he has brought me so much.  What great advice from a two year old.... you make you happy.

..I  definitely  am.  Thanks Brodster.
