Love - Children

This week has been a really special time with my children.  For a few years in my life I was not healthy enough to enjoy the time I needed to with them.  I couldn't relax into a moment and savor it.  I am by new means healthy and whole but I am in a much better place.

My son is growing up so fast I can't keep up with him.  He's in that in between stage of childhood and teenager world.  He has a beautiful heart and is such a generous soul.  He loves people so much.  And he is a wonderful big brother.  He has his father's calm spirit and sense of humor(ugh).  :)  He has my love of music and performing and need for hugs and closeness.  He sings constantly! He has my stubborn need to always be right.  LOL!  He loves to read like me and watch documentaries like his dad.  He has my hair but is tall like his dad.  I will treasure each moment I can snuggle or spend time with him.

My daughter is still a little girl.  I'm so glad I didn't miss it all.  She loves stuffed animals and build a bear. She wants to be held and carried.  She believes we are the smartest people in the world...lol.  She holds my hand and plays with dolls.  I know it's all going to change too quickly.  She loves to give to people.  She is always sharing whatever she has or taking popsicles outside to her friends.  She has her daddy's hair but I think everything else is me...poor girl.  She is feisty with a quick temper.  But she has a huge capacity to love and a big personality.  She makes shows in her room just like I did as a little girl.  She will always take an opportunity to get attention.  Oh I know one thing she gets from her dad.  She walks away from confrontation.  I'm glad she got that!  I want to have every moment of this little girl time as possible.
