Blake

I am amazed (most recently) how much my little Blake has grown. Not only is he having a growth spurt right now, but he is just like a sponge. He copies and is actually starting to listen to me. We are having more conversations, and he knows there are consequences if he doesnt do what I ask... so he minds well. Of course I  allow him to make mistakes -but we are bonding more. Tonight we were watching the super bowl and Brad asked him if he wanted to sit with him, and he said "no, mom". I feel like our bond is strengthening. A year ago he would have chosen Brad in a heartbeat.

I have heard his teachers at church tell me how great it is to see him mature since Kaitlyn was born. He really has. He cares for her so much. He gives loves, and is protective of her when we go to the store. When she cries, he says "mom, baby cry" because he knows if she cries, she needs help. He likes share his toys with her, but not let her have hers- ha. He can make her laugh so much more than Brad or myself. Its fun to see their relationship grow.

I am grateful for Blake tender heart. He loves his family and he is such a good boy. He says please thank you, and excuse me. He wants to have mamas attention all the time- and I love it. He makes messes, and plays in the dirt like a boy. He can count to 10, and knows what a b looks like. He loves trains, and dionsarus, and pirates. He loves to play rough with dada and have piggy back rides from mama. Mama and dada love you little man.

I am just so grateful I get the chance to stay home with my kids. I would never be able to experience the closeness I have with my kids if it wernt for Brad. I am so grateful for his hard work.
