Yesterday the boys were playing together and Jackson kept putting Connor's play food in his mouth (which Connor hates and gets really upset about). I saw him lean over and whisper something in Jackson's ear and asked him what it was. He told him, "I don't like it when you put that in your mouth, but I still love you."
And if that didn't make my heart melt enough, I told him that soon enough Jackson would get a little older and wouldn't do that anymore. He immediately got very sad and started getting weepy. I gave him a hug and of course asked what was wrong. He said, "I don't want him to grow up. I like him just the way he is."
What a privilege it is to raise these boys! They always remind me to appreciate the moment. Connor lives entirely in the present and there's much I can learn from him!
