I am a MOM

Sometimes I still have those "holy camoly" moments when I sit here and think "I can't believe God chose me to be a mom!" I can screw things up better than anyone. Seriously, I think sometimes I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached. And still, God gave me a kid. A cute, hilarious, imaginative, fun, gentle-spirited, lovable little boy. I'm amazed by him everyday. Growing up, I remember people telling me that God loved me more than I would someday love my child. Is that possible? I love Levi in a way that cannot be explained. Has God given us that love to show us how much He loves us? I believe so.

So, I sit here typing while Levi is watching 'Thomas the Train'...his latest fad. It's funny how quickly his fads can change. Just a couple weeks ago, he was into CARS. Now, it's Thomas. Another fad that has stuck with Levi for a while now is a stuffed animal...a dog that is cleverly named "Doggie". Doggie goes everywhere with us. To the grocery, to the grandparents, to school, and yes, to the potty. Doggie has to go potty each time Levi goes. Tonight, though, Levi decided Doggie needed to wear a pull-up. Yes, a pull-up. So, it's after bath time, we're watching 'Thomas', and Levi and Doggie are both chilling on the couch...

... with their pull-ups on. LOL

Man, how time flies! Below, I've posted a few other pics from the past. Levi is 2 1/2 now and it seems like yesterday when he was just a little baby scooting around on the floor!

Last winter with his "gangster" look! We called him Levi Soprano.
