So sorry I've been MIA for a very very long time.
February 19 was the 2nd anniversary of saying Hello and Good-bye to my Sweet Precious Aiden. It is weird how you can go days and months without sheading a tear and then this time of year comes around and all those emotions come flooding back. Around that time of year if my husband sees me crying he just hugs me and says, "I know, me too". No words have to be expressed...we both miss him so much and wish he could be with us each and every day. Time passes, but the love and sadness does not go away.
Since I was a slacker I got a late start on getting my mom to make blankets and hats for the hospital so I didn't get them to the hospital on his birthday like I did last year. If I can be completely honest, they are still sitting in my position. My mom got them to me about the time we put our home up for sale. Then one night we were going to bring them down to the hospital while we had a showing and then for whatever reason it didn't work out. Then we tucked them away to keep them out of the way during showings and out of sight out of mind...so now I have to get to the hospital to give these away. They are my birthday present to Aiden...giving back to the hospital that gave us so much when we were at our darkest moments. I want other mothers/fathers to have what we were given.
Happy 2nd Heavenly Birthday my sweet Aiden. Mama loves you to the moon and back!
On February 21, Zachary turned 4. Can you even believe it? He has grown up so fast it is just crazy.
This boys seems to amaze me more and more every day. He has learned how to ride his bike without training wheels and he learned how to swim without any assistance all this summer. In March we were in Florida and he saw another little boy swimming. He said...hey I want to swim like him. We took off his swimming turtle thing and off he went. We haven't look back since. He now jumps off the diving board, dives under water for items and is just a complete fish.
This year like always we headed on down to the children's museum to celebrate Zachary's birthday. We were joined by Zachary's best friend Noah. They are a day apart and each year we celebrate there together. This year my friend Julie announced that they would be moving away. We were so sad, but joyful that we got to enjoy another birthday together at the museum. Hopefully they can still enjoy their birthdays together...maybe just on another day.
Zachary can spell out his name and write it. He can dress himself....when he wants. He starts Pre-School this fall. He loves to play outside. He loves riding his bike. Loves to swim. Eats most anything, but does not like fresh uncooked mushrooms, tomatoes, anything that "looks burnt", onions or things that are spicy. He says that it hurts his tongue tickle when he eats something spicy. He got stung by his first bee and now is terrified by sting bees. Thankfully he had no reaction to it....my mom is allergic to them....so you just never know. This boy is sweet, loving, caring, kind, naughty, sneaky and loves little kids especially his little brother...that is when his brother hasn't taken something he wanted. I can imagine life without you. This mama loves you to the moon and back. Can't wait to see what the next year brings us.
