10 Tiny Toes.
Last Thursday was an awful day. I felt so lonely... Brian has been at school from 7am to around 11pm everyday for almost 3 weeks trying to finish all his assignments and study for exams and it is hard being a mom of two all alone... but I know it will be worth it when Brian graduates in April 2013.
Carter was a total stink that day... he ripped apart his favorite Thomas book.. then cried and when I taped it back together for him he tried to break it again.. he had a dozen tantrums ... a ton of "time-outs" .. he tossed his toys all over the place.. stepped on Bentley (just a little but on purpose)... CRIED.. ALOT... and was a total handful all day to say the least. Bedtime could not come fast enough for me. I was stressed... felt totally inadequate.. and defeated by a two year old. Brian called home around 10pm to see how the day was.. I immediately started to cry... I just let everything go. I missed him. He came home as soon as he could and when he walked through the door he has these behind his back...
Thank you sweetheart... you really did turn my frown upside down. I am so excited that today was Brian's last day of school and within two weeks his exams will be done and we will have a few weeks to just spend together as a family. That is the BEST Christmas present ever! And Im sure that wont be the last awful day that I have .. but I hope it doesn't happen again any time soon! The funny thing is.. when I put Carter to bed at 7pm that night .. I totally missed him. I wanted to go in and cuddle him.. and tell him how much I love him.. even when he drives me crazy. Good or Bad.. he will Always be my little guy!
I really am such a lucky mother. Every day when Carter is napping or preoccupied or in bed for the night I take my sweet little Bentley and I cuddle him as much as possible! I love it! And so far, he is a super cuddly baby! As I was cuddling him the other day I looked at his adorable little feet.
I wondered to myself where the little feet will take him in life... will he be a sports kinda boy.. or will his feet help him play the piano... Will these precious little feet walk him to school and to a good degree... where will these little feet serve a mission?
I looked at his tiny toes and all the wrinkles on his feet and thought.. how do you not believe in God? How a baby is created.. in your belly for 9 months.. how Bentley has 10 toes and 10 fingers.. beautiful eyes and a little heart that knows exactly how to beat. Lungs and all his organs that are functioning perfectly... how is that just science?!
Bentley truly has brought so much happiness to our family... hes is the greatest little brother!
At 4 weeks old I got Bentley to smile! It is ADORABLE and whenever I make him smile, my heart just melts!
We are so lucky to have you Bentley.. your sweet spirit and your tough personality that your big brother Carter is sure to make sure you have.
I love you Bentley Brian Reed.
