Day 31

Children

I am grateful for children, more specifically, my children. Even more specifically, Brady.

Children are true gifts from God. How sweet they are. I am very blessed to have one to hold and cherish everyday.

Brady is wonderful. I don't know how, but everyday he does something to make me fall in love with him even more. Even just sitting in my lap calm and peaceful does the trick. I love his toothless little grin. I melt at his innocent little laugh. He has me wrapped around his finger. I thank God everyday for Brady. I pray that I may raise him right, that he can know of Gods love for him. I could hold his warm, smooth, sweet smelling little body in my arms forever.

People say what a sweet little angel he is. They say that he is so good. It's good they say that to remind me what a blessing he is after we've both had a long day or week and are frustrated with each other. I pray that he will forgive me for all the things I've done wrong, and all the many more things I will do wrong. I want him to always remember that no matter how frustrated I get, I still love him. He's lucky he's first because I will always marvel at the new things he can do. He will set the standard for his siblings and I have a feeling he will set it high.

I love my little bumpkin. He's a great child to break us into parenting.
