The Wagon:
A beloved early Christmas present from Grammy and PaPa
This kid won't eat any meat...None. We've tried grilled chicken from both us and chickfila, ground beef, meatballs, chicken tenders, deer, turkey, and ham. Nothing. He winces and spits out the first piece and then dumps the rest on the ground.
Momma don't do vegetarian meals.
This week, my heart has really struggled with the fact that this precious boy is quickly growing up before my very eyes. I've already had so many sweet things come and go.
He chooses to stand beside me for story time instead of sit in my lap.
He chooses to put himself to sleep instead of being cuddled.
He chooses to walk instead of crawl.
Last night around midnight, he woke up crying. As I walked into his room, he was sitting up in his crib crying a very pitiful, "Momma." Any slight aggravation of having to get up continously in the middle of the night for the past 10 1/2 months quickly vanished. For whatever reason, whether hungry or scared, James needed me and I was more than happy to give him some love.
James,
The first couple months of your life were not the easiest. Daddy and I were tired and grumpy and had absolutely no idea what we were doing. But, being privileged to know you, love you, and watch you grow into a sweet little boy has been an unbelievable blessing. We can't imagine our life without you little one! Thank you for being ours! We love you!
