Make my day

It really is amazing how much joy one little boy can bring to my life. As crazy as things get it is so much fun to spend time with Davy. I was thinking today about how wonderful it is that I can be having an absolutely awful day where everything is going wrong and I am angry and frustrated and upset and all I have to do is see Davy and everything gets better. His little smiling face is such a joy.

Today we went for a walk as a family, Davy discovered that he could see me through the clear sunroof thing on the stroller. So for the rest of the walk he kept peeking up at me throwing me super adorable smiles and giggles. He loved looking at everything, it is so nice to be able to get out and do stuff outside now that it has gotten warmer. I am really surprised at how hot it was today. It got almost up to 80 degrees in our house.

It is really fun now that Davy is walking, he toddles all over the place. We have to watch him carefully, but it is still a lot of fun to watch him explore things. Today I built him a tent between two of our couches, he seemed to like it, but kept pulling the blanket down. He got this crazy idea that climbing on top of the blanket would be a good idea, thankfully I tucked the blankets tight enough that he slowly dropped to the floor, still I had to watch him the rest of the day and keep him from climbing on it again.

Thoughts on children

Tonight I was thinking back to when we lived in Utah and how at the time there was little chance of us having kids. I remember seeing my friends and watching their families grow and realizing that there was a chance that we might never have any. Now that I am someone's mother I am so amazed at how blessed we are just to have our little guy. And even if he turns out to be the only child we can have we are still so blessed to have him.
