Everything Changes

Today's a day like any other, but I am changed. 

I am a mother.

Oh, in an instant, and who I was has disappeared.

It doesn't matter, now you're here.

So innocent.

I was lost for you to find, and now I'm yours and you are mine.

Two tiny hands, a pair of eyes, an unsung melody is mine for safekeeping and I will guard it with my life.

I'd hang the moon for it to shine on him sleeping.

Starting here and starting now, I can feel the heart of how everything changes.

My heart's at the wheel now, and all my mistakes, they make sense when I turn them around.

Everything changes.

What I though was so permanent fades, and I swear I'll remember to say we were both born that day.

Oh, and it's true. What did I do to deserve you?

I didn't know, but now I see, sometimes what is, is meant to be.

You saved me.

My blurry lines, my messy life, come into focus in a tied.

Maybe I can heal, and I can breath.

Because I can feel myself believe that everything changes.

My heart's at the wheel now, and all my mistakes, they make sense when I turn them around.

Everything changes.

What I though was permanent fades, and I swear I'll remember to say we were both born that day.

Oh, and it's true. What did I do to deserve you?

Thank God for you.

Book Worm

My little man is quite the avid reader. He will pull book after book off of the book case if you keep offering to read them to him. He has always been this way, since he could touch a book. He is the same with movies. If he is upset or bored, I will turn on a movie and BOOM instant gratification from him. He loves Disney and almost any Disney movie will please him. He absolutely loves Brave and Hercules. A recent favorite has become Robin Hood; which was my favorite growing up so that makes me happy. His current favorite books are "Animal Strike at the Zoo" and "Star Wars 123" which speaks highly of his interests right now. I decided recently on a Zoo theme for his birthday party this year because he absolutely loves animals. He has many animal books that he will go to over and over and he is particularly fond of giraffes and elephants. I'm really excited because he also LOVES to play with balls and I found Zoo themed beach balls! Anyway, these are his two favorite books...

Another thing B is huge on is music. This kid tries to play "drums" and taps his hands on things, claps to the beat of the music, and dances. He dances and sings along to everything. He would match our pitch almost perfectly at 18 months and he now will finish singing some of his favorite songs if we sing the beginning lines. It astounds just how musically talented he is already at such a young age. I often see him growing up to be the next teen pop star. I don't know if that's something I'd want for him, but if he's that talented then why not? I definitely want to keep encouraging him with his love for music to see where it takes him. He literally has his own playlist on my youtube of his favorite songs and videos and will watch them all on repeat. One of his favorite songs is Ollie Murrs "Heart Skips a Beat". If you have never heard it before I highly recommend you go look it up. Tell me it's not worth it? It will be interesting to see where these random interests and talents take my kid. I can't wait to look back on this post a few years from now and compare where he is.
