Double Digits

10 years old......10........that's a decade.  I can not believe that I have a 10 year old, but as of 8:25 this evening G has moved out of single digit land into double digits.  I don't know how to parent double digits!  I'll have to check with Focus on the Family and see if they have any books on parenting double digit kids......I think it makes him an official "Tweeny".  

G, I will never be able to thank you enough for making me a mom.  You will always have the honor of giving me that title.  You have forged the way and I have learned a lot about myself in being your mom.  How in the world did I ever live without you?  I still vividly remember your birth and the joy and wonder I felt at meeting you.  I often feel like I am meeting you all over again these days as you grow up and mature.  

I love, love, love your red hair.

I love your tender spirit.

I love that you amaze me every day with some random fact that means nothing to me.

I love that you are a staunch supporter of Abraham Lincoln and his title of being The Greatest President ever.

I love that you still want me to scratch your back every night.....please don't ever let that stop.

I love that you do your hair every morning, you handsome boy.

I love that you would give every last dime you had to someone in need.

I love that you have asked Jesus into your heart about 30 times.......I think you're good, buddy.

I love how you watch me during sad movies to make sure I'm not crying.

I love how much you love your dad.

I love how much you love my cooking.

I love calling you my son and I would NOT trade you for anything in the whole world.

I so look forward to our future together.......as a family, as a mother and son.  I thank God every day for choosing me to be a part of your life!!
