This weekend we are celebrating the life of Littlest One. He’s been trying to milk it all month long, but the real celebrating is now. Now is when we reflect back on his life and thank God that He has allowed Littlest One to be a part of our family.
Frankly, after The Negotiator I hoped we were done. I was satisfied with the number of kids I had and tired of having baby after baby. I didn’t want another one. I reflect back on those thoughts and look into the smiling face of my Boo and try to imagine life without him. I am thankful that God trumped me because without him I wouldn’t have beautiful green eyes shining back and me, nor would I have his comedy at every turn, especially when I need it, nor would I have him cuddling up to me whenever I sit or lay down. I’m so glad God is in charge because I would’ve missed out on a lot!
Littlest One was and is my true baby. Because I was pregnant or nursing continuously for over 4 years, he is the one that the fog cleared and I actually got to enjoy him–to enjoy having a baby. Before him, I was just going through motions. He is the one I nursed longest and really didn’t want to stop because I loved his little body curved into mine. He is the one that I got to really relish in each milestone with. He has been a blessing and I am so glad I didn’t have to miss out!
Happy Birthday, Littlest One!
