écrivez la vie

today me and tyy put music on his mp3 player that he got for his birthday. music like veggie tale songs, disney songs, music from paul wright, some of his favorites like ‘you are my sunshine’ and ‘my glorious’ — he loves it :) i love watching him listen to songs, and deciding if he likes it or not. he likes a lot of hip hop, or beaty music- it is also very cool to see him singing along …i love it. he has such an awesome personality, i love watching him grow up, and i love how much time i get to spend with him as he is growing up.

i was thinking earlier about how thankful i am to be able to spend so much time with him when i realized that it wouldnt matter how much time that i were able to spend with him or not- if i was not being constructive with that time. i know when i was growing up my mother always told me something along the lines of needing to learn from her mistakes so that i could be a step ahead. i remember thinking that i wanted to make my own mistakes so that i could have my own experiences. HA! that worked out well… i certainly have some experiences, but through them i have learned that its well worth learning from someone elses experiences instead of making all of your own. — where am i going with this? one of the more common things that i hear from parents is that they wish they spent more time with their children, or children end up growing up with some sort of disfunctionalities because they never got proper attention from their parents and whatnot. but, once a child is grown up, there is not much going back and changing their childhood. i want to be able to help mold, and support tyy through anything that he needs, he is going to grow up into an amazing young man living for God. gahhh! :) i love him.
