So much FUN
Gardner's getting so much FUN. I know it seems like an obvious statement, but sometimes it hits us how incredibly fun it is becoming now that he's a little toddler boy, not just an infant. He's like a companion throughout the day, not just a little cherub that I take care of for 12 hours. It amazes me when I see this little complete person, stemming from something that once was not....he's now his own self, and yet we can see parts of each other in his attributes and mannerisms. One of the most awesome parts of parenthood, in my opinion.
It's not just once a day that I find myself laughing (bent over) at something funny he does or says. His little fake "political laugh" just slays me. The fact that he desperately believes that when HIS eyes are closed, we can't see him anymore. How excited he gets over the mention of a fig newton cookie (you'd think we'd have just offered him part ownership to Chuck E. Cheese Pizza, not just "fruit in cake"). I have to readily admit that some nights, though we're so exhausted we're sliding our backs down his closed door to the floor, we are sad when we put him to bed. We realize we'll have to wait till morning to observe more of his silly antics and precious expressions.
The more I see and experience this, the more convinced I am that I am at the right place....right in the center of God's will. I am so thankful for the wonderful partner I have in Ken....and the two little blessings we have now on earth to walk through life with us.
