The Treat of the Trade

We woke up one day last week to a lot of snow. I called into work and they cancelled school. So me and the kids made the best of it. Jaxon woke up at 4:15am to cuddle with me on the couch. I thought he was fast asleep when i got up to take his picture...only to find he was teasing with mom! I built him a fort. He put all of his stuffed animals and some of his favorite toys in there. Along with a drink and snack :) Then we bundled up and played in the snow!! He loved it!! Every single inch of the yard was touched by him and Jill. This was a lot better than being at school she said. I agreed. We only played for a short time since the temp was -28 degrees. We came in and drank some hot cocoa. The weather this week was in the 70's and all to most of the snow has melted. Like it didn't even snow. Came and went.

I have come to terms with the fact that i have a boy. A daredevil. A curious blue eyed wonder. An explorer. An artist. See he got on the couch one night and just started standing on his head. He does it often. I fear that one day he will break a bone. There's nothing that cant be fixed. I also have a fear the ER Dr's will know us by name. Then again he may like to make my heart skip a beat and like seeing me turn blue because I'm holding my breath until he quits what hes doing. He does all that because hes my son. I am really going to try not to be to over protective and let him spread his wings. When I think about all the "what ifs"....my heart races. I know its silly. I shouldn't fear the unknown since that is what i am trying to teach him not to fear. There's that part of me that always will. OK OK There's that huge part of me that always will. I am his mom. He will always be my baby. He will always have my protection. I promised him that before he

He lets them nap on him. He lets them put funny glasses on him. He gives them the best piggy back rides.
