This is a strange transition for me...no longer a baby, a toddler or little kid. Now he's a big kid who gave his mamma "knuckles" instead of a kiss this morning as I dropped him off at school. holy crap.Monday, December 8, 2008
Struggles
This guy is getting to big for his own good. I am struggling. I am praying daily that I can stay connected to him. He is growing up right before my eyes. Every time he opens his mouth to talk, argue, delegate, compromise, suggest, and wriggle his way out of the situation I find myself shocked to realize he is no longer a little toddler. He is now a BIG kid, one with very strong opinions and feeling the daily pressures of growing up and "fitting in". He shrugs his shoulders like a teenager. Man alive...I am struggling. And I thought having a baby was tough, I think I am truly in trouble with the approaching teenage years.

SCARY! I feel for you, I have no advice, but when you figure out how to handle it, let me know. Take notes, I will need all the help I can get!
You are so right when you say..."and I thought having a baby was hard"...the years ahead are probably much more difficult! Just remember there are others having those exact same feelings!
And do take notes...because I'm sure I'll come to you in tears soon enough...asking for advice as my little guy grows up too!
wait, how old is he? cause he does look like 13 in this photo ;) And man, does he look like Andrew!
Hang in there Ang! There is a country song (go figure) that I think is by Trace Adkins and it's called "you're gonna miss this". I know you probably don't feel that way now, but one day that little man of yours will be packing up for college and you will miss these days of him being home with you, even if its hard. You are a great Mom and you will live to tell the tale, and then pray that Brandon's kids will pay him back handsomely for all your trouble!!!!
