Lovin' the Boy

Photobucket



After five girls I have to say, I'm lovin' having a boy. Full stop, lovin' it! I love how he runs everywhere. Back and forth, to nowhere in particular, he runs on his delicious little chunky baby legs, and then, all of a sudden, as if realizing that I'm there, looks up and not just his face but his entire being lights up. It's magical. No other word for it.

Those big blue eyes, handsome dimples (I'm a sucker for a man with dimples, his Daddy has dimples and I think he's the most handsome guy in the world.....hmmmm I detect a pattern here......) just appear, and the arms start waving about in glee, and you'd think someone was handing him the crown jewels, or at the very least a really cool football, but no, it's all for me. I'm savoring every second of it.

I love how in the midst of all the toys, he finds his favorite Woody cowboy doll, and the trucks and weeds them out to play with.

He also is currently in love with an old cell phone, loves the buttons, but he'll put it up to his ear and give whoever he's talking to an earful, then fold the phone up and promptly launch it into a forward pass across the living room (the boy's got a good arm, I think Navy might just have their quarterback for 2027).

I love how his sisters love him. Teenagers to age 5, they all adore him, his groupies. They'd do anything for him. Anything. They love to make him smile, and he looks for them when he wakes up in the morning or after his naps, can't wait to find his girlies.

Poor kid, I hope he never learns that not all women will love him this much. I know he will eventually, I do, but he'll have five older sisters to comfort him if another girl breaks his heart. I find comfort in that, although, I think we might have to warn the girl his posse is very protective......... lol!

I love how his Daddy loves his boy. He would've been thrilled with another girl, but God surprised us with Samuel, and even though he has sooo many physical challenges, and is in so much pain, he's always happy to see his children, to spend time with them on our bed, where he spends most of his time. They are always welcome, even our wiggly little toddler boy, who adores his Daddy sooooo very much. He's the first one he seeks out when we're in our bedroom. He stands up on his tippy toes and peeks up over the edge of the bed to see if Daddy is watching, and is over the moon when he is!

A ball of excitement, and then, when I put him on the bed, he makes a beeline for his Daddy and parks himself in his spot on the pillow right next to him, because, Daddy IS , after all, the coolest! Yes, he is Samuel, yes, he is.

Just thinkin'. Just feelin' grateful. Just feelin' blessed.

May your day be blessed.....

Only Because of Jesus,
