Two years ago a little boy was born. He was directionally challenged as an babe and after a good labour was discovered he was completely the wrong way. By the time it was discovered we had been in labour too long and he was delievered by csection 1:05a.m. on a Sunday morning. He gave us a bit of a rough first year, made us doubt our parenting skills the first year and we have survived. He is our clown, he is non stop action and has his momma wrapped around his finger.
Once we started laughing we couldn't take the hat off...
He has given us so much joy, laughter and yes....frustration. One of my favorite reflections of motherhood is the different dynamics the kids bring. How they work together to make the family complete. Learning and correcting their weaknesses and encouraging their strengths. Watching them grow from baby to child. Seeing their personalities shine through. Jacob is our strong willed one. The little boy who could....do anything he puts his mind to. Last night we decorated the house with balloons and streamers. He has been hyper all day, running from balloon to new truck and bouncing back to balloon. While opening his presents he looks to his big sister to help. We have been greatly blessed with this little tyke. Here's to another year of unexpected challenges!
awww, what a cutie pie! full of fun :) (the difficult child thing must be a second child syndrome? cause I have one of those too-and she has her mumma wrapped around her finger too ;) )
