Oh my sweet baby boy. He is the light of my life and the source of so much joy and laughter in our house. BUT we are in the pushing boundaries phase right now and he is pushing me right out!!
This tired worn out mama can only hope and pray..(lots of prayers) that everything I am doing now is shaping and molding baby boy to be a strong man of God with true character.
Being a mother to boys takes a certain type of women. I feel I was made to be a mom to boys. I don't know bows or anything about french braids. BUT...
I know football teams.
I catch the winning touchdown
I can wrestle. (and still win)
Don't test me because I can stand my ground with the best of them!
I believe " No blood? You are good!" is a good motto to have.
A little dirt never hurt!
I build forts
Superheros live in our house
I may have jumped on the couch to escape the lava a time or two
I can build a volcano
I am strong
I feel like you have to be strong in order to survive boyhood! Mothers play such an important role with their sons. They teach them so much about life. The first relationship a boy will ever have with a women is with his mother. That bond has a direct relation to how he treats a women later on in life. "It is far better to raise children then to repair broken men." I have no idea who that quote is by but it is SO true. I am hoping to raise sons that know how to treat a women. That pattern starts now at a young age. I pray I am planting the seeds in them to be men of courage. I have this scripture up in their bathroom and I hope they remember it always.
"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love." 1 Corinthians 16:13-14
