Today my oldest child celebrates his 11th birthday! Time flies, I can’t believe how fast he’s growing. I think back to the day he was born; he was so small and innocent. I remember thinking, I know nothing about this parenting thing hopefully I don’t screw up here. I remember holding him close and whispering a prayer for guidance and knowledge on raising this child and any other children I may have after him.
This morning when he got ready to head off to school I was giving him a hug and wishing him a happy birthday, he told me I love you and thanks for being my mom! You’re talking about tears! I must be doing something a little right because I can’t imagine having better kids!
Mack is growing into such a little gentleman, and he’s such a big help to me. His little brother and sister are right behind him. Don’t get me wrong, they can be mischievous, but all the good by far outweighs the bad. I’m so thankful for the blessings I’ve been given!
