Kids!




Hayden.... Sigh! This little boy cracks me up! He has so much energy! I think if I live past the normal age it will be because this little ball of energy will have kept me young!
So today (and last night) he decides he wants to jump off the couch. So with no encouragement or prompting form me he grabs the back cushions and puts them on the floor and then jumps! He went from a sitting position to standing to belly flops to falling backwards! Who teaches kids these things? I never showed him how to do it and to my knowledge he has never seen it done!
This kid has learned how do "guy hug" when he gives me a hug he does the whole pat on the back then let go thing! again, NO CLUE where he got that?!
I am shocked at just how fast these little people learn how to do such amazing things!
It was brought to my attention that children spirits are just as old as ours they are just in little bodies that they have to learn how to master. That said how many times does my sons spirit look at me and say " what the heck is she doing?" It is almost intimidating to think about it. He is spiritually just as old as me? He could even be OLDER??? I think that is why we are told that we are given kids to LEARN form just as much (if not more) as we are to TEACH them.
Time goes so fast! Hayden will be 2 in 3 months! My little man the kid I swear was in my belly yesterday will be 2! Sometimes I dont think its fair that time goes by so fast, How are we supposed to remember to cherish all the small moments? How am I supposed to catch all the little things that he does and remember them? How am I supposed to be ready to let him go if time flies faster than I realize?
Before I know it ill be an old lady with 100 grandkids and 50 great-grandkids and a husband that cant remember any of their names! *sniffles* Its not fair! I miss my kids already and hes only (almost) 2! How am I going to react when he goes to school? How am I going to be able to keep up with him? ..... Being a mom is way too emotional!
