Home is where your mom is! I love this saying! Til this day anytime my brothers and I are at my parents house & my mother is not there we freak out! "Where's mom?? When is she going to be back??" My mom always kept our home full of silliness/adventure/laughter and it just wouldn't feel like home without her!
Now that I have my own home I feel the passionate duty to create the same environment! I have such a love for home and family and appreciate the patience I gain when it comes to teaching Greyson tenderly the things he needs to know about this life!
Don't get it twisted, grey still loves to poop in the bath tub and commence to dumping out all of his toys right after I've put them away. But for some reason those little moments remind me that I'm so lucky to have this life! God has given me a precious gift and entrusted me to teach Greyson everything he needs to know to have joy on this earth! Amidst the tantrums and sleepless nights I know that this is only a moment before he receives his priesthood, goes on a mission and marries in the temple!
Okay let's go back to where Grey is still my little one year old hunk! He is such a cuddle worm! He loves to watch movies and will routinely ask for chocolate milk, a pillow and a blanky and his mommy and we could sit there and watch Brave time and time again! And occasionally he will grab my hands and ask me to dance! It's quite flattering! It amazes me how smart he is! He has the greatest memory! I'm thinking to hire him as my secretary to help me remember all my to do lists! He has 12 teeth now and loves to eat blueberries, chips, fruit snacks, veggies, eggs; pretty much everything!! He's still my skinny little peanut though! He loves nerf guns! He makes the noise "pew pew pew" and it cracks me up! He made his first poop on the potty! He was so proud of himself! He is so aware of everyone else around him! Every time we go to the play place at the mall or the park he is always asking the kids on the sidelines to play and trying to include them! It is seriously so cute! And anytime somebody starts crying he always has to make sure they're okay! "K? K?" And he always says that immediately after he hurts himself too! He's one tough little boy! He is obsessed with spider man! He could see a poster of him a mile away and he will shout "Pida man!"
I could go on and on with little things my little boy does! I'm writing a few so I can remember how much he made me laugh and how much I adore him for it!
