My son
Having a son is a challenge at times. They like cars, ninja turtles, transformers, dirt, bugs, typical boy things. There are times I listen to him talk about something he is so excited about that I can't relate to. As he gets older it feels he gets further away from me, wanting me to only kiss him goodbye outside his class room so that none of his friends see. He's at school most of the day and then has homework when he gets home so it feels we don't get much quality time to connect.
As he's gotten older I feel he has come to understand the importance of a mother. He has always been a daddy's boy but I think he sees what only a mom can give. He didn't want to be hugged and held as much a few years ago as he was trying to gain his independace but now he is wanting that affection again and I'm so thankful for it! My little boy is thoughtful, caring and loving. He thinks of others, just now offering me a piece of gum from a party he went to yesterday because he says he didn't have any tootsie rolls (my favorite). I look forward to seeing him grow up and becoming whatever he wants. I know he will do great things as I can see his potential. He is very smart and handsome, I couldn't ask for more than that. I am lucky to have him as my son and will always be here whenever he needs me. I pray that as the years go by we will keep a close relationship and he will feel comfortable talking to me about anything. I love my little boy who pretty soon won't be little anymore.
