Anderson

These last few months have been a whirl wind. My baby is getting so big, I catch myself looking at him sometimes just thinking how weird it is to have a 3 year old. He is so smart, I have never in my life felt as blessed as I do right now. What joy to see him growing and doing so well. He is like a mix of all of mine and Ron's best traits. He is kind, loving and soft hearted with a streak of meanness just like his momma. He is thoughtful, observant, and has a thirst for knowledge like his daddy. I know that a lot of things about parenting is challenging, I still question every single decision we make to try and make the right ones. Hind sight is 20/20 right. It feels good, like automatic gratification to see him doing well, and prospering.

CHANGES:
Anderson is growing and changing so much. Like we wake up every day and we don't know what he might come up with today, he has a huge imagination that endless. We cook, fish, go boating, work on cars, all from the 4 walls of his bedroom....amazing to see the world through my child's eyes.
When we moved to Shawnee Anderson started sleeping with us, in our bed. We occupied an apartment in a rather YUCKY neighborhood for 2 months until we could find a house. There was loud music, parties and fights. He woke up a lot during the night and I know he had NO idea where he was at. Two years later, he was still sleeping in our bed. We just moved things around in the house the past couple of weeks, Anderson now has a bedroom that was at one time a single car garage. HUGE for a 3 year old. It's awesome though, I just love it and he does too. When we made the switch I started making A go to bed that room. The first week or two was tough, but he doesn't even think twice about it anymore. Granted I lay down with him for a little while at night, and he still comes into our room early in the morning sometimes... but we take baby steps at our house. Its easier on me. haha
Again, he is growing up.
We brought the boat home and he is really ready to hit the lake, which makes us so happy because that is something that Ron and I both love to do as well.
BIG THOUGHTS:
We have started planting seeds about having another baby. Anderson says, I will take a girl. lol So funny. Anyway, Ron and I are "planners" for the most part. I say I am a planned fly by the seat of my pants kind of person. I like to know where we are going and when we are getting there but the rest is in the air. Needless to say we are trying to plan when we are ready to have another baby, right now we are thinking the end of this year sometime. I am really nervous but I think it will be ok, Anderson's will enjoy a sibling... right?
