Tears for the 'Teeple'


A week ago today was our anniversary and just before we went to bed we decided to watch our wedding video with Max. We thought he would enjoy seeing his Mommy and Daddy on the TV and since he recognizes the Temple, we thought he would enjoy even more seeing us together at the Temple.
That's what we get for assuming... he cried. For some reason it made him sad. He wouldn't tell us why he was sad, but I've never seen those big blue eyes so full of tears.
Riddle me this...everyday for the past week he asks to watch the 'Teeple' show at least once a day, usually more. And everytime he watches it, he gets teary eyed. One of the most joyous occasions of our lives brings our little boy to tears.
Why he wants to watch it over and over I'm not sure. Perhaps it's because he thinks he is the little boy in the photo-montage at the beginning (all pics of Ryan when he was little) of the video. Or maybe he likes seeing our reflection stay in the reflection pool as we walk away? Or maybe our little guy is actually likes making himself sad?
It's a sad sad mystery...

Ohhh. That is the sweetest, and yet saddest, thing I've heard! The spiritual junkie in me likes to think he just feels touched by your wedding video and doesn't know how else to let it out. I love that he wants to keep watching it even though it makes him cry. What a sweetheart!
