He gets it honest

I hate to type this out, but Evan, you are right.
Our son is just like his Mama.
And I'm not sorry for that.
Because I like him just the way he is.




His stubbornness can be a bear to deal with sometimes.
But he's a boy who knows what he wants.
I like to believe this will turn into determination.
I think he'll probably move mountains one day.

His impulsiveness has landed him in the Principal's office many a time.
But that's his way of letting those around him know he means business.
I hope he will take this trait and uses it to be a great leader.
Someone who will take charge and run with his dreams.
I want him to know he can do anything.

And his need for order and structure. That is enough to drive anyone crazy.
But who doesn't love order and structure?
I feel certain he will thrive because he will always have his routine.

And all of these things, he got from me- his Mom.
As we sat with his teacher this morning for a parent/ teacher conference, I couldn't help but think of myself. Every trait his teacher pointed out about Britton are traits I too display.
I'm the one who is stubborn, impulsive and needs structure.
And look at where it has landed me.
I have a strong faith in Jesus.
An amazing husband.
Two beautiful, sweet and fun children.
And a life I'm proud to lead.

So it is my hope that Britton doesn't change a bit. I just hope he grows to learn that the traits that Mama gave him- the traits that God gave him, can be put to good use.
Oh how I love that boy.
