As the rains were pouring down this past week and I was loading Trey and all my errand "stuff" into the car, I made the mistake of putting the electric screwdriver on the seat of the car, next to Trey, instead of on the floor. I hurried as quick as I could once Trey and I pulled up to Physical Therapy to get him from the car and into the building...obviously I wasn't quick enough for "Mr. Busy". Trey unbuckled himself from his seat, and pressed the electric screwdriver's trigger on the handle faster than I could get from the front seat to the back. I was numb to see and hear Trey using the screwdriver on the back of the leather seat in our SUV. Trey knew in an instant I was so disappointed in him and tried to work his "magic" on me his entire time at physical therapy...I didn't break a smile (ok so maybe a bit of a smile) and Trey knew I was serious about him not touching what wasn't his. So an hour and a half later we're in the car again ready to drive back home when Trey calls my name. I look in the back seat and there he is, with the most adorable look on his face and his hands in the shape of a heart as he says, "I Love You Mommy". I have no idea who taught Trey that little gesture with his hands but with out hesitation, I smiled and returned the sentiment, looked forward and was reminded not to sweat the small stuff and to thank God for "Little Mr. Big Stuff"...our Michael Trey.

Pulling at my Heartstrings
