I Love being Evan's Mommy....

I can't even explain how much I love Evan. It's a love that only a mom can understand. If you have a little boy and have never read the book, "Let Me Hold You Longer" by Karen Kingsbury--you really need to. It talks about how we always seem to remember the "firsts" that our babies do- their first smile, their first toothe, their first steps and so on. But we seem to forget about their "lasts" until its too late to really hold on to it. Evan has already had some "lasts" and its sad that he is growing up so fast. - his last newborn sleeper, his last size 0 shoe, his last time in the newborn sling for his bath tub,his last size 1 diaper, his last time to want to be swaddled- I get excited about all of those "firsts" too- but those "lasts" are something that I want to remember. I love every moment spent with Evan- there is nothing like seeing that sweet smile when you pick him up from his crib in the morning.....or cuddling with him before he goes down at night. There is nothing I would rather do than to be Evan's mom (and Myron's wife!) and I am so grateful that I get to spend each day with him. I can't wait to see him ride his first bike with training wheels, or catch a baseball with his dad, or say his first prayer, or even take those first steps- but I need to remember that everyday there is a last - and I need to cherish each one.
