The Future...

I have been blessed to be a SAHM for 4 1/2 years now! These last few months have had me thinking A LOT and it's been hard, sad and scary for me....as a mother!

Aiden and Bryson are growing up so fast! Recently I have come to realize that my baby..my first born, Aiden will be 5 soon! He is the most amazing thing that has ever come into my life. Every day he makes me smile! He is truly one of the smartest kids I've ever met. Yes, I know what your thinking...he's my son, of course I would think this! No...he really is! When I read to him he finishes my sentences! He tells me when we look at bird books what the names of the birds are. He knows what a Squid, Octopus, Starfish, Anteater, Bat, Platypus, Porcupine and Armadillo are (I'm sure he learned this from Diego but it's still amazing!). When I ask him to take on a chore at home, he doesn't complain. He looks forward to the challenge and remembers each day that this is his job and is proud to have it! He rarely argues with me. When I ask him to get into bed, he goes and stays there! Recently I have been struggling with that fact that he is losing his first tooth. Even though it's caused from a couple of Hatton cursed accident prone days, I realize that it's inevitable and will happen only a few short months from now, it really bothers me! To me it means he's growing up, not a baby anymore! It's heartbreaking! I have told him that he is NOT allowed to play with his loose tooth. It must stay in as long as possible. I know, I'm crazy!

Oh my, my baby Bryson! Where do I start? He's almost 3 now and is the cutest kid ever! I can't tell ya'll how many times I go to the store or anywhere for that matter and someone stops me to tell me "He's so cute!" and I always say, "Yes he is, Thank you!". What they don't know is that he is my WILD CHILD!!! He's so full of life and outgoing! Just like his aunt Penni! I guess he's not only going to inherit the good looks from her! He loves to tell me "You're not the boss of me" or "I don't care!!!". He also love to eat! He wakes up in the morning and the first thing he does is go to the cupboard and grab breakfast. He can't even wait for me to get up! This continues throughout the day. I wonder if he will ever stop eating!!! He tells us he "LOVES FOOTBALL". This scares me! I always wanted to go to Friday night football but I never thought I could let my child play! I don't want him to get hurt! However, Bryson is a different story! I am pretty confident he will be just fine!

Well, this is the deep truth of what I have been feeling lately! I know some of things are WAY in the future but it's just things that have come up in my thoughts these days! There's much more but you'll have to tune in to my blog to read it!

I apologize for not posting things lately but life has gotten in the way! I plan to go back and catch up soon! I look forward to sharing my deepest darkest motherly thoughts with you soon! '

Love ya'll!
