Today my son is 2. This is such a huge milestone! It is still hard for me to say that he is two years old, it seems so old. Two seems like so much more “kid” and not really “baby” anymore. It’s crazy. This week, I have enjoyed thinking back on all of the times we have shared so far in his life. The smiles, the tears, the lessons learned and the ones we are still learning. I am so incredibly thankful for each and every moment. Two years ago today my boy entered this world. And changed our lives forever.
Dear Little Man,
February 18, 2010 – I found out I was pregnant with you. I couldn’t have been more excited, that you were on your way.
You were born 9 days late on Nov. 2nd 2010 and my heart was overflowing with love.
The day you were born, I began my journey as a mother. It is wonderful, and sometimes scary, but we make it through together.
You have taught me so much in these 2 short years:
You have taught me what it means to trust.
You taught me to be thankful for simple things.
You have taught me about grace
You taught me to say “i love you” without using any words.
And how to look at the big picture.
You have taught me a lot about patience, and when I thought I understood, you just kept teaching, I guess you get that hard-headedness from me ;)
You taught me about priorities should be and how to be content.
My sweet boy, I had no idea how much my life, my world, and my very self would change because of you. We are learning and growing together.
I love the life that God has given us to share, and I know that you do too. Because of you, I learned that ministry comes in all shapes and sizes, and motherhood is the ministry that God has for me right now.
I feel so blessed to be your mama, to watch you learn and grow
I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us in the next two years. I am so excited to see the little boy, and eventually the man that you will be.
You fill our lives with such joy Little Man.
I am so incredibly proud of you.
with all my love,
Mama
