I can't believe when I found out that I was having a boy that I was scared to death. What was I going to do with a boy?? I was so sure that we were going to have another girl, but thank goodness that is not what God had planned for us. His ways are always better! I can't imagine not having my little boy. He is such a joy and a terror at the same time. I have never known the kind of love and adoration that I have for him. I love, love, love my little girl - it is just different from the love I have for Zach and the love he gives back to me. We have been inseparable since he was born (both good and bad). :0) He twirls his hair when he is tired or thinking, like I do. It is hard to discipline him because he gives me this sly cute smile and says, "moooom" and then immediately starts saying, "sorry, mom.....sorry, mom.....sorry, mom" until I give him a hug. On the days that Darin gets up with him in the morning (usually between 5:30-6am) he will be good for an hr or so and then he will be insisting that they "wake, mom". I can hear him yelling at Darin, "wake, mom! wake, mom!" It is so nice to be wanted....... My favorite time with him is bed time. He wants several books read. I know all my construction trucks now. :0) Then he has to have several 4-5 cars in bed with him and he lines them all in a row and then fixes them several times before he will lay down. Then I put his blanket on and he says, "night, night mom" and I say night, night and I love you and he says back, "I love you mom." It fills my heart. He is two and is growing up way too fast. I was reading Dr. Dobson's book "Bringing Up Boys" and he said that between 3-5yrs the boys start separating themselves from their moms and identifying and mirroring their fathers more. So I have one more year of being the apple of his eye and I'm going to cherish every minute of it.
He just learned to pedal his trike.
