Toddle Along Tuesday: What I love about Monkey

I'm linking up with Growing up Geeky with Toddle Along Tuesday. I love that there are themes to write about now. This week it is what you love about your child(ren).

Having a 2 year old that is full of energy there are some days I have to remind myself of all the things I love. Those days are normally pretty far apart and most days I can just look at him and melt.

So I love...
  • The way he always uses his manners. "Please" "Thank you" "Welcome" "God Bless You" and on we are still working on "Excuse Me"
  • When he curls up in bed and say "I want to cuddle" and before I leave his room he makes sure and says "I love you Mommy"
  • That he's so intuitive. He can tell what I'm feeling and cares about how I'm feeling too
  • That he enjoys spending time with his Popa so much 
  • That he can find humor in almost anything 
  • That he loves to read and will just go up to his room and spend hours just looking at books
  • That he is so excited about learning and loves preschool time 
  • It when he prays. He still copy's what I say but he knows to start them with "Dear God" or "Dear Jesus" and end them with "Amen" and he always has a huge smile on his face during his prayers
  • That we are at an age where he's starting to potty train! Big milestone!
I think I could keep going and going. I think the most important thing that I love about Monkey is that he is so kind and has so much love for everyone and shows his family so much love at just 2 years old. I can see God being able to use him for some big things in his future. 

I think tonight I'm going to send up an extra prayer of thanksgiving to God for giving me the child that I so longed for.





Thank you Toddle Along Tuesday for giving me a chance to sit down and really think about all the things I love about Monkey. It's always nice to remember why I work so hard every day.

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
