Well, skoodle-up the doodle, up the deedle, up the dee...our jackets, we're glad we brought 'em! Yes, it's me singing Barney's famous song, "I like Autumn." Cute song. Boys love silliness just as much as I do. Maybe more.
I have to say, I have really enjoyed the hot summer but am glad to get out the Halloween stuff out and take the boys on nature walks around the n'hood collecting various leaves from the beautiful changing trees.
My life rules right now. The boys are growing up so fast and I am enjoying every single day of it. I will never regret it or take it for granted. I am not Super-Mom, but I do love doing stuff for my little guys. They are so much fun! This year, the boys are both in school a couple days a week, which enables me to spend 2 hours alone, one day a week, with each one!
Tyler and I have time during lunch once a week, which is usually Applebee's or the "big chairs" (bar-stools) at McD's. He is so sweet and loves his Mommy time. He is learning so much about God's Love, prayer, and forgiveness. God is working on him so much and he is soaking every little bit of it in. He holds the door open for me, makes sure I have everything I need, says Grace all by himself no matter where we are, and always remembers to get an extra toy or balloon for "Little". Very thoughtful, sincere, loving, and my little snuggle-bug. His favorite song is "He lifts me up". Makes my heart melt. So much, I could cry.
Little and I get 2 hours in the morning and it's usually spent shopping. He follows me closely, never in a cart or stroller, and is extremely independent. This little boy of mine knows what he wants, and I am cherishing these two very, very short hours one-on-one with him...getting to know how he ticks. It is truly amazing how incredibly strong, wise, and smart he is...already at such a young age. He shows no fear, but always is cautious in a new adventure, making sure it is safe/secure, and sits quietly while doing it. He is his Father. :) He talks about hockey, Daddy, his new Pillow Pets, and motorcycles. Today, we picked the 4 biggest pumpkins we could find. He was totally bummed he couldn't pick them up by himself for mommy, but never gave up. My "Littlestrong" always doing the maximum he could possibly do...just like Daddy. Never gives up, intensely motivated, stops at nothing. Heart melt #2 (and 3). I am blessed. So incredibly blessed. And loved by the most wonderful 3 boys in the world. Thank-you, God.
