angel.

today max took a loooong morning nap.  like from 820 until 11.  so pratt and i had time to really play.

so we made bats.  we had seen them at his school.  and i had seen them on pinterest.  so we made them.  he loved it.


i cut them out.  and he hung them.

he was so happy.  he literally loved it.

maybe it being with me.  just the two of us.  i think that's it.  but idk.  it could be lots of things.

he said something that i don't want to forget.  he said, "mom, i'm gonna be really good.  i'm gonna do good now.  i won't ever hit or kick.  or be mean to anyone ever again.  i'm gonna try really hard, mom."

it was the most innocent statement i have ever heard from him.  maybe ever heard from anyone.

i think these things quite often.  but i'm too adult to admit them.  they are my own little thoughts.

but not pratt.  he just flat out told me about it.  how he was gonna try so hard.

i just grabbed him and hugged him.  and told him that i loved that idea.

may i never forget how precious he is.

About Me

My photo
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.
