I had the sweetest conversation with Noah tonight. He was upstairs with Daddy and Emma getting ready for bed, I was downstairs with Adam and Leah cleaning up from FHE. When Noah started crying out for me I made my way upstairs and found him crying on the bed while Jason buttoned him into his jammies. He kept crying at Jason, then I walked over and said, "I don't think you're really sad, I just think you want your mama."
He immediately flipped his head my direction, stopped crying and said, "Eeh-yeah!"
I got a big gummy smile, too.
It was a great reminder that those tears and cries aren't always for sadness. Sometimes it's just a cry from someone who needs you.
Exhausting though it might be, it always feels great to be needed.
