The Polson Family

I really want to brag about our son so...hold on tight! This mother's day was awesome...as the previous ones were, but some how I felt a little different. It's like it finally sank in that I have the most honorable job in the world! Don't get me wrong, I've absolutely loved the last 2 years and 4 months of being a mommmy, but never really thought deeply about what parenthood is. The emotional aspects of the thrill I get watching this tiny little person, that I created, is almost unbearable to grasp. From the moment I saw Aydan, I knew I was in for something more special than I could have dreamed. The first time I held his little hand in mine, I looked into his eyes and promised him the deepest promise of a life time; to always do my very best. It seems like a simple promise when you say it out loud, but if you think about it real hard...it's the most extraordinary thing one could challenge themselves to. Not every one's perfect...and I am certainly not, but I sure do have the perfect amount of love for my son. Even when he came out of his bedroom closet covered in poop from head to toe, or when he hit another kid out of jealously, and even when he had my toothbrush in the toilet...I will always be his biggest fan. It has always amazed me at how advanced Aydan is. When I first noticed his unique determination and motivation to learn, I knew I was not to pressure him, but to encourage him. Man, the stinkin' kid was so eager to walk, (probably so he could get into stuff better) that he took off and never looked back. Took first steps and 9 months, walked at 10. Then came talking....we would and still do...just sit and repeat words over and over again until he is satisfied with the way he is saying them. For a 18 month-2 year old to come up to you and want to practice to be better at something is amazing! It only shows me what it's going to be like for us to watch him go through school and activities!! The biggest accomplishment these days is....potty training. Aydan is "going" like a big boy! Not just going...but doing it all by himself!! I can't tell you how proud I am of him! Every mile stone seems even greater than the one before! I am very excited to be a mother of 2, not only because I get to bring another beautiful life to this world, but because we are giving Aydan a chance to be a big brother. He is going to be awesome, I can already tell. He is going to be a great teacher and maybe he'll learn a little from his brother or sister too! Aydan has given me the most amazing gifts ever, one example being, the gift of being head over heels in love with his father. Every time I look at Aydan, I grow more and more in love with Justin. He is a wonderful man, and I'm so glad he picked me to be on his team. I guess all I really wanted to say is, I am a very proud woman of my growing family, and I can't believe how blessed I am.

This last Sunday we went to the part to fly Aydan's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse kite. We were all so excited, and tried and tried to get the kite to fly but it never did. Maybe it is scared of heights? Anyway here are some of our pictures of the disappointing kite flying adventure....



Aren't my boys cute?
