Sometimes I (and Mark) forget to be thankful for the beautiful gifts that God has blessed us with. There is so much work involved with being a mother and a father, and sometimes it is just hard to be grateful. I have had to really work on my attitude as a mother and be grateful for having such wonderful and "gifted" children.
Mason is clearly behind in his speech now. We have noticed him being extremely aggravated with Makyla and lashing out at her for lack of being able to tell her what he really wants to (Such as "LEAVE ME ALONE!"). We have really been working with him on using signs to communicate. He is now able to tell us "help, please, more, all done, yes, and thank you." These signs have really helped with his struggle to try to communicate. I am hoping that he will be able to get free preschool in the Fall, because of his delay.
Makyla is such a big helper. Today, while I was gone to our attorney, she did a whole sink full of dishes for me! She also loves to play with Merayya and tote her around like a little doll (probably not the best, but a great act of love). Makyla still is obsessed with shoes, like her mom! She is also still just a pretty princess and is so excited to get to go to "pretty school" in the Fall.
Merayya is also just an amazing joy, but sometimes the joy can get overlooked by all the dirty diapers! This last weekend she has started scooting backwards. She is extremely slow and it is hard to notice, but I know that where I set her is not where she ends up. We were at my mom's this last weekend and Merayya was scooting backwards and putting her butt up in the air! It was sooo cute!
Our family is truly blessed and I need to remember to thank God each and every day for allowing me the privilege of being these guys' mom.
A last little prayer for our family:
Dear God,
Thank you for all of the beautiful blessings that you have given to us. Please help us to raise them to love and honor you. Help us to get through every rough spot and keeping trekking on. Help us to see the good in every situation. We love you so much and want our children to do the same. Thank you again for everything!
Love,
Parents in need of love and forgiveness
