my big boy

I just look at this little boy sometimes and think "wow, you look so big." I don't notice until I really just stop and look at him. He's growing up so fast-wearing size 3t clothes, talking in sentences, sleeping on a nap mat (never thought that would happen!). I fall more in love with him everyday, that's for sure. Days are tough with a strong-willed toddler, but at the end of the day, when you see some fruit from all your work-or when he wants to read "God's book" or asks to say a prayer or wants me to rock him, it's all worth the "no's" and the constant fussing. I have to remember that this age is hard for him too. He wants to communicate better and do more. It's so fun because he is suddenly paying attention to EVERYTHING around him. I talk to him and tell him something once, and he remembers! He's very teachable-they all are at this age. I love seeing him learning. I started putting Sawyer down for bed earlier and Hudson later. This way, I get some sweet one-on-one time with just Hudson. It's just like old times =) We read tons of books, and sing songs, and he does lots of stalling haha! He is a gift, and I thank God everyday that I get to be his mommy and love on him.
