dear pratt,
i don't know what i did before you came. i'm not sure what was important in my life. or what i spent my days doing.
i only know that from now on...you and your dad are the reasons i get up in the morning. you are the reason he works as hard as he does.
tonight, we had dinner with sugar, tyler, cookie and poptart. poptart claims he will never spank you. he says that you'll never do anything to warrant it. i'm not sure about all that. i mean, i think you will be a sweet little boy...but i'm pretty sure at some point...you'll warrant some type of discipline. even your father was spanked once. ask him about it. he remembers it well.
anyway...all that to say that when i put you to bed tonight (at 915 pm...2.5 hours after your normal bedtime), you didn't even whimper. no sound. nothing. you went right to sleep. that isn't normal. i don't know why you're such a good kid...i really don't. i guess you got all your dad's genes.
we love you. and we cannot imagine our life without you. as your dad said tonight when we pulled into the garage, "it doesn't get much better than this."
i couldn't agree more...
About Me

- i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.

Isn't that the truth....it really doesn't get much better than this!
You were a great sleeper and a very happy baby, so he could have gotten his disposition from you also. We had a great time at dinner last night and I had a great time holding him throughout the meal. It brought back memories of holding you and Sugar when you were his age.

when people ask me how i can "deal with" the kids "taking over my life" and if i "want my old life back", etc, etc. i always tell them that the things that were important before just fade away. only your top 2 or 3 favorite things remain in your mind and you can usually find a way to keep those things around occasionally. and it surprised me the things i do and don't miss. for example, one of my favorite things before kids was going out to movies--don't miss it! i never was all about going out to eat before, but now for some reason i miss it! the only other thing i miss besides going out to eat is dancing. i would kill to be in any kind of dance class on a regular basis, for fun AND exercise. not possible now, but i will probably bring that back into my life as soon as i can.
thanks for the heads up on the baby food maker. we actually have a WS here, so i will go look for it next time i am strolling at the mall. and thanks for appreciating the cat humor.
yep, i couldn't agree more. tonight after a friend of ours left i looked at john and said, "how did we get such a good kid"? we are so very blessed!
