My favorite part of every day is waiting for this little
girl to wake up every morning with her "Ma Ma" "Ma Ma"
chatter.
Her personality is so cute and she is so energetic. I find myself just staring at her, thinking
to myself, what would I do without her? She has filled our lives with so much happiness and
fun. She turned 18 months in December and it took this mom until February to even think
about putting her in nursery. Ryan and I teach primary every Sunday and we enjoyed taking
her with us and the children enjoyed playing with her, also. Which is why I started to think
about putting her in nursery, not only for me, but for her too. She needed that interaction
with other children and she needed to be able to trust other adults, also.
So anyway, this past Sunday at church Ryan went to drop her off at nursery, which the past
few Sunday's it has been a chore in itself trying to get her to go inside, but this time
she waved bye to her dad and walked in. It made me feel a little sad, but also a little proud
that we had achieved that milestone.
I just realized while writing and going through my photos, that I need to take more photos
of Hayden. I have so many pictures on my phone and camera and I would say 70% of
them are of Bristol!!
I did find this photo of Hayden with Ryan and the Space derby a couple of weeks ago.
Hayden did great. His little rocket was fast. He came in first a few times and had a few
second place finishes. He was the life of the party. They counted down each race that they
did and we could definitely here Hayden. He was the loudest boy there. I can't believe how
big he is getting. He has grown so much and I feel like I missed it somewhere.
He is my rock. He helps me with so many things. I hope he realizes how much he means
to me and how much I can depend on him. He will always be my first born and always be my
baby.
There is no greater joy in this world than the joy of being a mother and I really hope
I get the chance to have a bigger family. My pride & joy is my family.
