Happy Mother's Day!

There's nothing better than being a mother! My son made me the cutest card at school and brought home a little pansy. This is the 1st Mother's Day card he ever made me all by himself with his own two little hands. You can bet it is going in my china cabinet where I can see it all the time!

Remember to honor your mother on Mother's Day. Being a mom myself, I realize all that moms go through to give us the proper up bringing in faith. It's a tough world out there and already, in kindergarten, I see my son battling a whole new world that sometimes he just doesn't understand. I'm proud to say when the occasion arose, he turned the other cheek and won a little battle all his own.

Enjoy the day being a mom and get those dads and kids to wait on you hand and foot. You deserve it!

My Little Angel

I wrote this true story in September of 2007....

The first time I set eyes on my newly adopted son he was howling so loud, I thought he could be heard on the other end of the earth. But the moment I picked him up

and held him in my arms, his crying stopped. Then I bowed my head and thanked God for sending me my little angel.

From that moment on, I swear, my son rarely ever cried. Even when he woke up in the middle of the night he would babble joyfully and play with his crib toys and just wait for me to come to change his diaper or feed him.

When my son was a year old, other mothers were amazed that he would sit in his play pen with his toys for a few hours at a time without crying while I worked on my home business or cooked or cleaned house. One mother said, "My kids never left me alone that long!" I just smiled at my son, my little angel.

At the age of two, complete strangers would stop me in stores and comment on what a good little boy he was. He never screamed, cried, tried to jump out of the cart or demand things. He sat still and smiled and said, "Hi!" to everyone we passed by. I was so proud of my little angel.

One day when my son was three, we were having a conversation while waiting on line to pay for groceries. The woman behind us said, "I can’t believe he says please and thank you on his own at his age!" and I said, "Of course he does. I say it to him." Then I thought to myself, 'way to go, my little angel!'

Then my son turned 4 and I wanted to know, where oh where did my little angel go? How come I don’t have 5 minutes to myself, not even to go to the bathroom? How come when we are in the store he constantly makes obscene noises so other people look at him like he must be mentally disturbed? I’d also like to know who taught my son say the word no? It couldn’t have been me when I yelled, "No!" when I found him standing on the back of the couch or when I yelled, "No!" after the tenth time I had already said, "No." when he asked for, "Another cookie Mommy?" or when I yelled, "No!" when I discovered he spilled juice all over my glass coffee table and then rubbed a shaker full of salt into it, could it?

I started wondering for this upcoming Halloween, if I shouldn’t dress my son in a costume of half Mr. Jackal and half Mr. Hyde because one day he loves something and the next he hates it. One day he loves bananas and the next he hates them. One day he loves hot dogs and the next day he hates them. One day he loves cereal and the next day he hates it!

Then a few nights ago, I received some bad news and started to cry. My son walked over, sat on the couch next to me, put his little hand in mine and quietly said, "Don’t cry, I’m here Mommy." I picked my little angel up onto my lap and hugged him tight. Then I bowed my head and thanked God for sending me my little angel, even if a little of the devil has gotten into him lately!

Three Syllables

One day after my son had just turned 2 years old, we were laying on the couch together and he kept saying a word. I'm sure all you Moms know when they are that young, some times you just can't understand what they are saying! At this point

most of his words were 1 syllable, some 2 syllable.

I noticed he kept pulling on the throw blanket towards his head. Finally I realized he wanted me to hide under the covers with him from his Daddy, and for his Daddy to come and find us. I pulled the blanket high up over both our heads and said "We're hiding from Daddy." Boy was I ever shocked and elated when he said, as clearly as can be, with the biggest smile on his face and so much joy in his heart, "Exactly!"

He was so thrilled that Mommy finally understood him and was playing the game with him! Previously he would hide under the covers by himself and his Daddy would find him. This was the 1st time we played hide and seek together. No matter how old I get or how crazy I get from running my business, a household and taking care of my family by myself, I will never forget the 1st time my son said his 1st 3 syllable word, the beautiful smile on his face, and the joy he brought into my day!

God's greatest gifts to me were his son and mine!
