I have been so anxious these last few days. Realizing that 10 weeks is far away, but really..its not. I am in the last stretch..the third trimester, and i cant wait to meet her. She is such an active baby, doesnt stop moving. Has some lazy days, but those are far and few between.
I was watching Rylen play yesterday, giggling to himself in the livingroom and i thought to myself..."i cant wait till there is two of them." I know its going to be alot of work, but all the joy that Rylen brings to our lives out weighs the work for sure. He has been such a different boy lately, so happy and so well-behaved. Im scared he is going to wake up changed, but he keeps getting better. He most definetly isnt an angel but he is so silly and so funny. He makes me laugh all the time. Everyday for the last two weeks he has learnt a new word, yesterday was "bath" and today was "car." I just love watching him learn and explore, its so neat to see the world through their eyes.
Alot of people ask us about potty-training and moving him to a "big boy bed." but honestly, im just not ready. I think potty-training might come first but im not in a rush to have him grow up too quickly. We are teaching him and telling him that he is a "big boy" but he is still a child, and sometimes we forget that he isnt even 2 yet. He is so smart, and so very stubborn like the both of us, and when he is good and ready to do something he will do it. We can teach him repeatedly but its when his timing is good for him that he will accomplish the task at hand. I do love that about him though, he isnt a mimick, he wont say or do everything you tell him to, he does it when he wants, and some situations in life that is a great character trait. It will surprise me greatly if he grows up to be a "follower." I totally think he is going to be a leader. A sensitive leader, but he will be a leader.
Oh the joy and blessing of children. God is good. What a privelage it is to raise children.
