Yesterday....

This picture hangs next to our sink and I see it every day...and smile. Not only does it seem just like yesterday that my little man (he's almost as big as me!) was E's age, but this picture reminds me of the spirit within him, what a serious soul really is hiding inside the mass of ADHD and budding testosterone that fight to control him. In this picture I also see that my plans for him are simply that, MY plans, not his and not God's plans for his life. He is his own person, making his own way in this world, and though I sometimes struggle to remember that, I never forget how blessed I am to be his mom...
