Baby boy

Hi all,
Not sure why it's been a few days since my last post, just not too much to say or too much going on, not sure which...maybe a little bit of both.

Hope everyone had a good weekend and Father's Day.  I made it through my first FD without my dad, and I made it through...that's about all I have to say about that.

L.J. started a mainstream VPK program on Monday, and he loves it.  I don't know why I was stressing so much.  He's been in public schools for 2 years in the hearing impaired program, as you know, but this mainstream program is a larger class and obviously no hearing impaired equipment, but he seems to be right at home and totally adjusted.  I don't know why I doubted that for one second.

He (L.J.) is so amazing in new situations and around people.  He's so friendly and so comfortable, literally anywhere...almost to a fault....it can be scary at how little it bothers him to have full on conversations with any complete stranger that will listen.  BUT, I am so glad that his personality is so out-going and that of a leader.  I wouldn't want it any other way.  Learning to filter a little better who he speaks to and when it's appropriate will come with time and lessons.  And unfortunately, he will learn sooner rather than later, that there are those "bad" people in the world that he will need to be weary of.  What a sad thing for an innocent child to have to learn.  That not everyone is friendly and loving and trustworthy and good.

I'm still waiting for the day he runs into someone who doesn't want to hear about Jesus.  When he gets into some conversations with people, he's been known to, mid-conversation, tell people that Jesus lives in our hearts.  My sweetie!  No one has ever said anything negative to him, and for their sake, they better not say anything in front of me, that would deter him for one minute from the love he feels in his heart for people, but more importantly, for Jesus.  It's such a pure, honest love that comes from our kids, and it's heartbreaking to know that one day, they will feel the pain of having that love challenged.

I look at him now, as he's falling asleep...the most still, peaceful moment of my day, and I can't imagine that I wouldn't do anything and everything to protect him from any hurt whatsoever.  Funny as you become a mom how suddenly the love our parents have for us completely makes sense.  He's so amazingly beautiful and sweet and loving...I could seriously go on forever.  I could never love or want to protect anyone more.  And even typing those words doesn't seem like enough.  There aren't the right words, or powerful enough words to explain the love in every ounce of my being for this little person.

Now, he drives me absolutely insane, don't get me wrong...lol.  But in my eyes there is no one on this planet more perfect.   He has overcome adversity in is virtual deafness better than anyone I have ever seen deal with any obstacle.  Nothing phases this kid.  He gets his bumps and bruises.  He gets his feelings hurt.  He's not always an angel to others.  But there is nothing I wouldn't do for him.

He is the absolute love of my life.  My best friend, and my everything.

I didn't know this post would be all about L.J., but there ya go.....I love you, my sweet baby boy.  <3
