Baby Beau Michael

 

Mister sunshine boy 💛

He IS my sunshine on a cloudy day! Beau has a special way of making you smile when you're ready to cry. 

I read all these articles and studies and see clips that talk about emotional development and how much they've already learned by the age of 3 and it scares you to death thinking if you haven't done it right by now there's no hope. It's no secret that Beau has been strong willed, stubborn and made things somewhat difficult at times. It's no secret that his mama is emotionally dys-regulated often times.

 All I know is this, he makes my hands full but my heart fuller. He challenges me and gives me lots of opportunities to practice patience and Christ like love. I fall short every day. Of all the things I've done wrong in my life he is magnificent and wonderful and I'm so grateful God picked me to raise him up. I could love him better but I could not love him more. My prayer is that God would help us to cherish him and love him the best we can. He is so special to me. 

Beau is tender hearted. He is considerate. He is observant. He is intelligent. He is full of wonder, he has questions about everything. He is talkative. More than talkative, he loves conversation, he wants to understand things. He is brave. He is full of energy. He LOVES his family. He's hard working. He's helpful. He's shy and sensitive, he gets embarrassed. He's truly funny, he makes us laugh every single day. Beau is a blessing. 

So I hope none of the articles I read are true because all I know is he is so loved, we've made mistakes but surely as he grows and matures and we grow and mature he will know that despite our shortcomings he was so LOVED. 

I pray he always knows we love him and what privilege it is to watch him grow, while also being the saddest thing we've experienced. 

You're the best little buddy
