My Second Son. First of all, you should know that this little boy makes me happy every single day. He makes me laugh, he makes me cry, he makes me proud that he chose me to be his Momma. The reason it has taken me so long to get my next post done is that I want to say this right and I hope you understand. When I thought I kinda had parenting figured out a little, Heavenly Father sent this guy. Little did I know. He is full of life and vim and vigor. He can be so sweet and then so feisty and through his 6 short years I have learned and will continue to learn why. Once when Jack was about 2, I prayed and prayed. Why is this boy so crazy and so strong and my answer came as clear as anything. "He needs to be." He is big and strong and I know he will rise to face any challenge set before him.
Jack has the best heart. He is a defender of anyone who needs defending and makes it known loudly. He loves with all he has and can fight with the best of them. He doesn't like you to be mad but, being mad at him just makes him madder. Does that make sense? I know he will command attention. I know he will lead. I know he is amazing. He is so smart and understands everything going on. He tells me so often that I am beautiful and that makes me feel like a queen.
Jack, hold true to what you know is right and lead away my little boy. I love everything about you!
Carrie! I love this. It is so so true about Jack. He really is amazing and is blessed with an incredible mom. Thank you for your example of raising such wonderful boys. I hope to be as good as a mom as you are :) I love you! (Also, thanks for talking with me on the phone yesterday!! You're the best!)
