Appreciate. What's the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it?
Ethan. Mainly, E-Boo being a little boy. I was (and still am) pretty girly growing up. I loved Barbies and play makeup. I hated running after my dads golf balls and playing at the Farm. I always imagined myself with a baby girl. Dressed head-to-toe in pink and ribbons. Having her own baby doll. Eventually playing with Barbies and picking out prom dresses.
And who knows, all of that may still happen!
But today. I love playing with my boy. Laying on the floor with cars (‘rooms, he calls them). Building (well, really, THROWING) Duplos. Kicking soccer balls. Heck, we even sat outside the other day. Momma read and E played in DIRT. Dirt!!!?!! He had to go straight to the bathtub, and it didn’t bother me one bit. He’s every ounce frogs and snails and puppy dog tails.
