Reflecting...

Love 05-02-10

Well little man- you made it! We love you and are so excited to have & hold you. While it had already been one week- we have learned so much, including changing your diaper in the dark.:) you are sleepy a lot, but when awake- love to engage in a conversation and are already smiling! you place everything on hold when you hear our voices and turn your head to find our eyes...i still sit & stare at you, wondering what you are thinking and how close you are to our Heavenly Father. I can feel your strong-willed, stubborn, fidgety spirit fill our home & know you will grow to become a good, respected & well liked young man. your cheeks are becoming more round & your chin had doubled, and each day you give me a kissy face that reminds me all over of why I love you.
love,
mom

How soft & sweet
a mother speaks
to calm a troubled child

Her gently touch
and warm embrace
are tender and so mild

A lullaby floats
from her lips
and lands upon the soul

Her smile chases
clouds of doubt
spreading joy to all

You're the mother of
our son
and love him so very much

I see it in your gentle tones
and soft and caring touch

He loves you too
and whispers love
when he smiles at me & you

May you always feel cherished
and love being a mother

Love-
J
