So, last night I got home from work at a decent time and went upstairs to start making dinner. Braden had been with me at the grocery store earlier that evening, but once we got home I lost track of him...he generally entertains himself these days :) Once I got a break and could leave the kitchen I decided to go downstairs and talk to my husband, who is no doubtably behind his computer ;) So, I wrap things up and went downstairs and this is what I find:
It was just so cute seeing them together that I had to grab the camera and snap some pictures!
After dinner was over I decided to do the dishes right away rather than waiting until Braden went to bed. So, I clean up the kitchen and did my "mom" thing of putting everything back in order so that I can enjoy my evening once Braden went to bed. As soon as I exited the kitchen and walked into the living room, guess what I see...my son on my laptop :)
Look at that intense face, as if he doesn't already look enough like his dad, right!
So, what I am wanting to know...is will this be my son in 25 years - ha!!! (By the way, this picture was taken tonight =P)
Braden's school collects these to raise money for his classroom, and he will get a special prize at the end of the year for collecting them and bringing them to his teacher. They are found on things like Ziploc products, Kleenex products (tissues, paper towels, toilet paper), certain cereals, Betty Crocker mixes, Green Giant products, Pillsbury products, Hefty trash bags etc. Send them all my way if your kids don't use them in their school.
Before I was a Mom
Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom, I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom, I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom, I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much… before I was a Mom.
