Hard to believe I've been a mom for nine whole years now. This firstborn of mine is one-of-a-kind, that's for sure. An "easy" baby who gave that charade up at the young age of 15 months old. I can still remember his first fit, his tiny little baby body going dead weight in the middle of the living room. Starting with a child like C, a strong-willed little spitfire, grew my empathy for fellow mamas by leaps and bounds. I honestly almost never find myself judging another parent based on their child's behavior. This child has humbled me. And he's given a tremendous gift to his siblings by teaching this mama that love is what they all need the most of and lots of it! He is such an outgoing kid and can make a friend anytime, anywhere...with anyone! He is bright and inquisitive and deep. Boy, is he a deep thinker. I can't even handle some of the theological questions he poses. We just have to agree sometimes that we can't always have all the answers and that's ok. :) He is funny and sensitive and thoughtful. He's old enough to sass mouth his parents with the best of them, but not too old to want kisses before leaving for school in the morning and snuggles at bedtime. He's brave and wise and one of those strong-willed world changers. And best of all, he's mine.
His current obsession is Jurassic World. No, he hasn't seen the movie! But, has the video game which apparently has all kinds of quotes from the movie so he can carry on with anyone who's seen it. (Which he thinks is great, of course)
We were at walmart getting food for the party and couldn't resist matching shirts. Hubby is going to love it the next time I see him wearing his and decide to twin him.
Getting a talking-to. He had a few of those that day, every day really. 9 going on 19!
I love the baby's face in this one. He's like "I'm way too cool for this family." Ha!
I took cupcakes in to his class that week. He was very cute passing them out to everyone. Then he conducted them all from the front of the room while they sang happy birthday to him.
