T-Bone AKA Taylor

So Taylor is turning 2 in 5 days. It seems like yesterday I found out I was pregnant. I really blinked and 2 years have gone by. It amazes me how quickly it goes by. Although it makes me sad that he is not my little baby anymore, I have enjoyed every stage so far. I think that I cant love him more and he does something so cute and funny and my heart melts. And then he does something so completely frustrating that i just need to leave the room. Just like any relationship motherhood is such a roller coaster ride. But with so many more highs than lows for sure.

Sometimes when I look at my child I am overwhelmed by the magnitude of the responsibility I have been given. I have the job of molding and guiding this small person into adulthood and attempting in the process to make as few mistakes as possible. As I look around at all the craziness that is our world I want to shelter him from all the mess but know that in doing so I would deprive him of the good stuff that is there as well. So I am going to have to attempt to find a balance of protecting and letting him explore. It really does make my head spin a bit if I think about it so much...

But I also look at him and it makes me smile from ear to ear that I am the one that has been given this huge responsibility. I look at him and I see everything good. You cant help but smile when he walks into the room. And it makes your heart happy when he says you name. He says it with such joy. He already is such a little man that I know I am going to blink again and he will be in collage. But I am learning to enjoy each season as it comes. Making the most of each moment. Happy Birthday Taylor!
