That's what little boys are made of.
AND they're made of "nasty" kisses (kisses where right before you kiss your Mama, you stick your tongue out and slime her with it! Those are what we call "nasty" Kisses.) Only mommy gets those! I say, "Eeewwwww! Gross Conrad. Yuck!" When you give them. But deep down, My sweet boy, I love that you think you're so silly and clever to slime me just right before you kiss me. You're such a sly fox.
I love how you roar like a lion, race your cars on the ground in such seriousness, and jump up and down in your car seat with such excitement when a fire truck drives past when we're driving. You chase birds with great intent of catching them and bringing them home as your new pet. I cherish the boy in you who slays dragons with empty wrapping paper rolls. I love that about you! I can only imagine how much joy it would bring my heart to see both of my boys wrestling and taking care of each other-
IF we have another boy!
It would be OK by me.
Today, I wore more of my hand-me-downs (Thank you Sofia!) I got to photograph a sweet baby boy today (which is why I put myself together and didn't show up without make up and in yoga pants as per the usual mommy-uniform!) I spent the evening with friends celebrating my dear friend (Dotty's) birthday.
Today was a good day. (i didn't have to use my AK.)
Psalm 107:1 (Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So)
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
i always think the same thing! i wouldn't mind having another boy. i think sometimes it'd be easier.
ReplyDeleteyou look beautiful as always!
i wanted a little boy... and I got a little girl who gives "nasty" kisses and loves to climb and jump!

Dustin knows ALL of the lyrics to this song and quotes it regularly. It makes me smile. I think he got it from the movie Office Space? Otherwise, he doesn't listen to much hard core gangasta' rap, but knows this whole song.
You look rocking :)
ReplyDeleteI love the things you wrote at the beginning, but hey dont worry because it it is a girl she may be like mine who likes to do all those things you wrote about haha
I'm loving your dress and scarf!
ReplyDeletegirl...boy...doesn't matter! you will be a mother to SIBLINGS and it's the coolest thing ever :)
ReplyDeleteLittle Boys are made of all those things...and lots of wonderfulness. (is that a word?) I think sweet boys are the best, and they definitely have their mamas' hearts. Your little one sounds precious and full of life. :)
ReplyDelete& you look fabulous.
i'm so excited for the baby
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to find out either way what beautiful addition you will have in your family. God has prepared you as a wonderful mother and you have all you need in Him. What a great time of anticipation and dreaming...I love it!
ReplyDeletelove that verse in Psalms :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you are getting some rockin' hand me downs! That dress looks fabulous and comfortable!! (perfect combo) I love the sleeves, especially the cuffs :) Are you going to share the photos of the baby boy?
And I am so with you! I'm actually kind of hoping out next little one is a boy...oh imagining Brooks with a little kid-brother mades me smile so big my cheeks hurt :) But of course a girl would be absolutely dreamy :) Can't wait to find out what you're having Chelsea!! Happy Monday!
