Amanda Kloots Calls Son 'The Best Gift' In Heartwarming Post

Amanda Kloots is feeling grateful!

The dancer knows plenty about the importance of spending quality time with loved ones, especially after losing her husband of three years Nick Cordero and having to raise their son Elvis alone. Spending the holidays with him must have put her in a maternal mood as she dedicated a post to appreciate her little boy referring to him as her "best gift." 

On her Instagram story, the mother-of-one posted a fun picture of the three-year-old laughing into the camera as he leaned back trustingly against her body. Dressed casually in pajamas, she wrote in the caption:

"The best gift. Life is precious. Time is precious. People are precious," adding that she was so lucky to have him, "hug him," and to "kiss him." 

Kloots noted how lucky she was to see Christmas through his eyes and that while she had always wanted to be a mum, she loved being his. It is clear that he is the center of her world, and loving him is all she wants to do, as well as spend quality time with him. 

Since her late husband's demise, the actress has taken to documenting the memories being created with her son in different places, to the delight of her followers. One such occasion was when she enjoyed a sunny day at the beach with her son, per The Blast. 

Posted to her Instagram page, she was pictured standing on the sand as the clouds and sky met the sea, making for a beautiful background behind them. The mother-son duo dressed casually as she carried him in her arms with his arms around her neck and placed a kiss on his mouth.

The 40-year-old wore a green star patterned two-piece from Pistola while Elvis wore dungarees over a white inner singlet from Wild Wawa, both of whom she tagged in the photo. She wrote in the caption, "Love is all you need ❤️." 

The TV personality kept comments limited, but it did not stop the adoring fans that could from complimenting their outfits, writing, "Love your outfit!!!" and "love this!! Your outfit is darling too!!."

Others made sure to praise the former member of the "Rockettes" and talk about how she was a great mother to her son. One user wrote, "the purest form of love right here❤️," while another noted, "Amen! Elvis will always love you. Forever and forever and ever. 💙 💛” 

Another person emphasized how strong the love between them was, stating, "And there is no stronger love than a momma & her son 😍❤️" Another follower agreed with her caption and gushed about the gorgeous picture, writing, "You're an amazing Mommaaaaa, and little Elvis is Sooooooo Precious."

One user, in particular, explained that her son definitely knows how much he is loved, adding, "and that is truly the most amazing part of life... when you know you are loved... you can do anything xox."

The fitness instructor understands that people who had lost loved ones would feel their absence even more during the holidays. The Blast shared that since she had experienced grief, it spurred the TV star to give out some good advice on how to handle emotions during the season. 

"The Talk" co-host, who herself dealt with her struggles through dance, posted the message to her Instagram story, writing, "If you are struggling, especially during the holiday season, one of the things that saved me and continues to save me is exercise."

The Ohio native went on to add instructions to her followers, asking them to "Blast good music, move your body and get OUT OF YOUR HEAD!" The Broadway star, who previously had competed in the 30th season of "DWTS," noted that she smiled for a whole hour while dancing on a bike. 

The Broadway star admitted to not waking in good spirits every day but did not let that stop her as she ensured that she did things to make herself happy. The "Live Your Life" co-author explained that finding things to do that excited her helped to remind her that life was meant to be enjoyed, lived, and celebrated.
