As usual I am SO behind on blogging (especially since I don't have a computer. . .and can't download any pictures). But I'm going to do my best to start today with the current stuff!
Today we got Jackson's school pictures and I can't believe how old my baby is looking these days. Here's little Mr. Dimples in his 3 year old preschool picture:
People say that the 3's are harder than the 2's. Some days I totally agree. But then there are other days when my little man is the sweetest and most caring person I could ever imagine. Last week we were taking a nap together and he put his hands on my face and said, "mommy, we are cuddling because we love each other. You are my best friend!" He does and says the sweetest things and I just LOVE this age. . .most of the time. Then there are those other times when he is being so stubborn and obstinate and the worst part is that I realize he's doing something that he probably got from me. But being on this mommyhood journey is so amazing, frustrating, trying and fantastic-I just feel so blessed to have two perfect and healthy little men. And of course that I have such an amazing husband who works so hard so that I can raise these two little guys. Jackson is my little buddy and because he's such a little talker I find myself talking with him like I would a friend sometimes. And it's really funny when he talks to me like Jay does. I had a headache the other day and Jackson said, "baby, can I get you some medicine? You really should lay down love." He of course just repeats what he hears but it's so funny to hear him saying all of the things he hears from Jay. It also of course makes us acutely aware of our influence on him and how important our words have become. Knowing that we are raising men who will someday be husbands, providers and fathers seems amazing to me. I want to savor every (or at least most:) moment with my boys but I also see glimpses into Jackson's personality that make me so excited to see the man he will become. And of course I feel the same way about Baron who such a sweet and gentle personality and just loves to snuggle. It will be so fun to watch him grow into a little boy and hear all about what goes on inside of his head.
As we all know I could go on and on about my boys but I have to get to bed. I just had to post when I saw in this picture what a little boy Jackson has become. What a blessing it is to be his mommy!
