Mama's excited!!

Posted by anonymous on February 25, 2010 at 11:27 AM

Usually after I change Simon, when I lift him up, I try and see if he'll "stand".  Well watch out world!  Today I stood him up and he locked his legs (he usually do it 5-10 secs) and kept going and going.  When they would start to collapse, he'd lock them again.  He probably did that 10 times!  And he started to BOUNCE ON HIS LEGS!!  He bounced 3 or 4 times and then stopped and did it 2 more times!!  I told him Yay Simon, mommy's so happy and he got a little smile on this face.  Finally he collapsed with a big sigh!  WOWOWOWOWOW!  The girls and I were very excited and I said Em, that was probably 40 seconds wasn't it?  She said no it was a lot longer than that.

Now that's a great way to start my day!!

"Motherhood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, he just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be." ~The Water Giver~

A prayer

Lord,

Please help me remember that Your love is always greater than my disappointments and Your plans for my life are always better than my dreams.

Amen.
