I didn't know that little boys loved to sleep with 10 or more hot wheels in their beds.
I didn't know that little boys could easily go from eating on a plate to thinking it would make a great frisbee.
I didn't know that little boys think of people in two categories: good guys or bad guys. Always thinking like a super hero...
I didn't have a clue that this little boy would be hilarious. He tells us tall tales most days...imagined from somewhere. He loves to wrestle and snuggle. He could eat potato chips at every meal...or any good ol' carbohydrate.
He might thank me 5 times for making his dinner. He also gets his words confused still...and I love it. One of his phrases he uses often is, "I very don't want to" or "I very need that, Mommy."
Mommy rocks but Daddy is almost always better. Ava can be his best pal or his arch enemy. Caroline just gets his love.
This is our boy. Four years old and full of life. He is good-natured, inquisitive, smart, funny, mischievous, tender, kind, and stubborn. We absolutely recognize that he is a gift from God Almighty. We have been entrusted to raise him to love and honor God.
We pray daily for God's direction as we do our best to live for Christ both in private and in public. His faith will be shaped greatly by our actions and influence.
Parenting is a sacred task indeed.
You are truly a delight to us Zeke! Happy Birthday!!
