*When at the store, I bought you Cheetos. Since you don't have words yet; but wanted to get the point across to me that you would like to eat them while in the checkout stand. You took my hand and placed it on the top of the Cheetos bag and showed me how to "tug" the bag in hopes of opening it!
*While putting groceries away you came across the cantaloupe-a ball in your eyes! Ha! You picked it up and promptly threw it and when it didn't bounce you tried it again!
This is your golden month birthday! Lol! I really can't believe that in just 3 months I am going to have a 2 year old on my hands! Where has the time gone? I say this often; but it really feels like it was just yesterday that I was holding you in my arms for the first time!
This month I have started really reflecting on what I want for you in your future, what I want you to become and be like. There are so many things in my life that I don't want for you...sometimes its silly like my phobia of the dentist! I really don't want you growing up with that fear. But, in truth its not what I want for your life-its what God wants. I don't want my dreams for you to get in the way of the dreams God has for you.
One thing that I desire is that your grow up as a man willing to be humble and apologize. We all make mistakes and sometimes we don't want to admit to them because of our pride. I hope that I can be an example to you in this area, so I have started making sure that even if it seems like a minut detail to apologize over I still apologize to you. I'm sure you don't always understand; but I would love for you to be able to look back on your life and in spite of seeing my mistakes and failures remember a mom that owned up to it, even owned up to it to a little boy! Does that make sense?
I love you Klayton and I am so thankful that God lets me have the joy of you in my life!
-Mama
