Recently the boys have been saying some hilarious things:
When playing a game, we often say, "I'm gonna beat your pants off." However, Max says, "I'm gonna beat you off the pants." It is beyond funny. I literally laugh every single time.
Today Thomas was making what I lovingly refer to as "the most obnoxious noise ever," and Daddy said something about him giving one of us an aneurysm. Of course, the boys don't know what that means, so Jackson says, "Yeah Thomas. You better quit that noise or you're going to give one of us an ear infection."
I used to have this fear of my kids growing into teenagers. I think I am growing out of it. I thought I liked them when they were babies... and I did. I loved every moment of that time and the warm snuggles and complete need they had for me. And now that Thomas is a toddler and he is doing all those fun toddler things and learning so much, I realize that I love this stage just as much and I get even more laughs and have more interactive fun with him. And then there is Max and Jackson, who just get better with time. Their personalities and all their God-given gifts and talents come out more with each passing year. I realize more every day how cool God is by watching them. I see why Jesus said let the children come to Him because He must have enjoyed their antics and stories as much as I do. I wonder if He rolled His eyes at the kids He knew as much as I roll mine at Max (when Max is not looking of course, and always with a silent giggle.) And I wonder if He listened to all the sportscaster kids with as much a swell in His heart as I have when Jackson starts announcing his life.
I am thankful my fear is dissolving and my joy is increasing in watching these kids grow up. Each day they bring something new and cool to my life and as their mama, I am determined to enjoy the ride with them.
