Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. Like when I found out I was having a boy. I don't know how to do boy things. I never played sports. Or video games. Or guns. There is something scary about the unknown. How could I possibly parent a boy, when I'm so good at playing Barbies? I have definitely learned to let go and embrace the unknown. That is what makes life exciting. I have discovered that I'm not so bad at playing catch. And that shooting my little five year old with a Nerf gun while he whizzes by is pretty darn fun. Gavin teaches ME about football, and is extra patient while he explains exactly how to play superheroes. Although someday I would love to have a little girl to dress up in bows and play beauty shop, I wouldn't trade my boys for the world. They are teaching me a whole new side to life, stretching my view of the world.
Gavin and Lincoln- one day you will no doubt be bigger than me. But I'll always be your momma. I'll be there to kiss your boo-boos, wipe your tears, and embrace you with hugs. But thank you for teaching me to let go. Thank you for letting me in on your world of 'boy things'. For teaching me about cars, trains, superheroes, and bugs. I'm loving it more than you'll ever know.
