So I never thought that somone going to the bathroom could actually thrill my heart. Turner has gone on the potty 6 times today! So what big deal you say? Bullshit, -VERY BIG DEAL! He grows up everyday. Every day he tells me something new. The past few days it's been "appy". In Turner speak Happy. He screams when we pass our parks and the Artic Circle where play group meets --PAY(play). He's funny and has a great sense of humor. I am not ready for him to grow up so fast but I love watching him learn and master new skills. Mom's are the toughest creatures on earth because our hearts get broken a little everyday. Now it's from how swiftly their aren't our babies but our big boys. Later it'll break when a friend is mean or a girl doesn't like him back.

When he was born ther were a few days that I thought there was no way I go through the rest of my life and be in any way normal. The tremendous responsibilty that slapped in my face was crushing. I felt a literal pressure on my chest. I didn't realize at the time that the pressure was coming from the inside. When I held my precious little helpless baby boy, my heart grew. It had to, to hold all the love I have for him.

It grew also for my husband. I had never seen him love someone so openly and completely.

You want to share how wonderful your children are with the world, but you also want to keep them to yourself. Protect them from evrything, every danger. But without the danger where are the thrills and all that can be wonderful in life? Learning to let him fall so he'd know how to pick himself up just prepares me for what's ahead.
