There once was a boy...

There once was a boy who was nothing but ALL boy. And better than that, he is OUR boy. Parker is 26 months and is full of life and fullof all that little boys love- dirt, water, tractors, bikes, trains, and being naked and playing in the water!! He is such a delight to watch as he entertains himself and plays. He is most happy with simple things such as a bucket of water or a pile of dirt. He is so active and loves to be outside. He keeps me going full time without a minute to spare. He loves for you to "it" (sit) down beside him and become engaged into his little world. And in this fast pace life of the long lists of things to do, I try to capture those moments of him wanting me by his side and just "it". As my mom tells me," the cobwebs and things to do will still be there tommorrow!! But your little boy will be a man." I am truly learning to ignore things and be focused on those special moments with Parker. He is such a sweet boy and loves those that he knows- Pap, Mum, Yen-Yen, Eith, Gigi, Grammie and Granpie, Meg and Greer. We have roll call at least 100 times a day to inquire where these special people are. Parker's vocabulary is increasing and it is fun to hear him call things the way that he wants to. Some of these things are hard to understand, but the priviledge of being with him everyday allows me to be a master at decoding those words! We are so thankful for Parker and are loving this stage with him. We pray that God will instill in him the virtues and wisdom to be a godly man, put His angels around him and protect him from this world, and prepare us each day to be loving and supportive parents to him.
