I have had so many thoughts in my head that I want to get down. I don't write near as much as I used to and I need to get better. I feel as if my kids life is changing and they arr growing up right before my eyes. As much as I say all the time that I can't wait for the next stage, it seems that ita right around the corner and I'm going to forget what just happened. I see them learning new things daily and bring examples to those around them!. Keenan had a couple neighbor kids over a couple weeks ago and we were eating dinner with them. One of them wanted to say the prayer but didn't know how. So keenan stepped up and helped him say it. I couldn't be any prouder at that moment as a mom. As much as I am doing wrong atleast I am teaching them about praying l. I always notice that keenan gets very sincere when saying his prayers. We had a moment with him that he wasn't liking his brothet Damon. That killed me as a mom because he told his teacher he had one brother. Since that day he has made sure to include Damon and tell me he loves him and to make sure I know that's his brother. I hope he had a learning moment. I take keenan to school everyday and this one day he saw his friends get off the bus and he was so excited! He was hitting on the window in the van to get thier attention but they couldn't hear him. He bolted out the door and ran to them. The pure excitement to see his friends and then they got excited waa such a fun thing to see. That boy makes me so happy!
A friend of mine and I went to hangout at starbucks on monday evening for an hour to chit chat. We talk about all our mom flaws, kids annoying us, hard times, and everything inbetween. We were talking about our kids and how she kinda felt a closer relationship with her younger too. II have been so fortunate to have an amazing relationship with each one of our kids. Damon and I have been through a lot and have a special bond. Keenan came into our life and brought such a new opportunity that we don't get with Damon. I spent almost 4 years doting on him when we had Niko. Now Niko and I get our time alone every day! I love my kids to pieces and am so grateful for the spirit they bring into our life!
