Brantley's First Day of his New School

Brantley started his first day of his new school today.  It was a hard day...for both of us.  I could not wait to pick him up this afternoon.  Seeing his reaction to me walking in the room to pick him up was both the sweetest thing and the saddest thing he has ever done.  He bolted up from the couch he was sitting at during story time and sprinted towards me saying "Mommy, Mommy!"  And then when he reached me he just lost it with tears.  Almost like he had held it in all day and finally felt like he could just let it all out. 

I can't even begin to describe how much I love this little boy. I worried about him so much today.  I know it will get easier for him and we will both adjust to this new routine but today was tough. 

Opinionated

<p>While I was putting on my bra this morning Brantley grabs another one off the floor in my closet, brings it to me, and says, "No Mommy, wear this one."

Love him.

I love this kid more than anything in the whole world. The end.

Happy Mother's Day!

 

Motherhood changes you.  It makes you better.  You really learn what it means to put someone else before yourself 99.9% of the time (because that .1% that you put yourself first is what keeps you sane).  I don't know what I did to deserve to be this munchkin's mom, but I'm grateful.  At the end of the day my main goal is to make sure he knows how loved he is.  I couldn't imagine this life without him. 

My Sidekick

Right now he follows pretty much every little move I make. My little shadow. He copies what I say. He helps me fold laundry, unload the dishwasher,  and unload the groceries. I cannot get enough of him.

Craig has been out of town since Tuesday and this little munchkin has kept me company. I am so lucky to have him.

All on his own...

We were playing today and I looked over to find his Easter basket on top of his head. Silly boy!

Little Butt

I check on Brantley every night before going to bed. Watching him sleep so peacefully is one of my favorite parts of my day. Love walking in and seeing this little butt up in the air. Its when you know he is snoozing good.
