Love That Boy…

This is a little belated, but in the midst of celebrating him, I didn’t have the time to blog but…Hayston turned 1 last week.  So, I wanted to wish Hayston a HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!  It was a wonderful day, just the three of us spending some quiet time together, doing Hayston’s favorite things (like going to Foster’s and the science museum) and of course eating cupcakes!

Words can’t express how much I feel about that little guy and the fact that he is a part of, and has ultimately completed our family.  I am so proud of the little boy he is now and the man I can see him becoming.  I love being a mother and a parent side-by-side with John.  It has been such an unbelievable year…not without many sleepless nights and tears of course…but full of so much joy and love as well.

So this is for my little guy…I know you can’t read this yet, but thank you, Hayston for coming into our lives and just being you.  It is an honor to be your mother, to see you for who you really are, to be a part of your growth and get to watch first-hand as you become an amazing person of your own.

I love you so much, baby boy!

LOVE THAT BOY
Walter Dean Myers

Love that boy,
like a rabbit loves to run
I said I love that boy
like a rabbit loves to run
Love to call him in the morning
love to call him
“Hey there, son!”

He walk like his Grandpa,
Grins like his Uncle Ben.
I said he walk like his Grandpa,
And grins like his Uncle Ben.
Grins when he’s happy,
When he sad, he grins again.

His mama like to hold him,
Like to feed him cherry pie.
I said his mama like to hold him.
Like to feed him that cherry pie.
She can have him now,
I’ll get him by and by

He got long roads to walk down
Before the setting sun.
I said he got a long, long road to walk down
Before the setting sun.
He’ll be a long stride walker,
And a good man before he done.
