So, Let me tell you about my son, Jonny! We call him Jonny but he is named after his Dad, Jonathan. He is Wonderful, Helpful and Caring. He is a great brother who is always willing to help his sisters! He also has quite a few quirks about him. He is the type of kid that lives like, everything has a place and everything in it's place. I've never heard of a 7 year old boy like this before Him. It started in pre-k. He loves to organize and rearrange. All he wanted for Christmas was a laptop computer and Office supplies. He got rid of all the toys in his room and now has a desk and office stuff. He hooks Keys on his belt loop everyday and loves to walk around with a fake cell phone and a wallet in his pocket. He thinks he's grown up, I guess.
The other day, After I dropped them off at school, I woke up my husband and had just sat down with my cup of coffee when the phone rang. My caller ID said that call was coming from my husband, who was in the bedroom. So I answer it and hear a teacher talking and students moving around. So I walk to the bedroom where my husband is and say " Hey honey where's your phone?" He says "On my desk, I think.". Then I say "Nope, I am pretty sure it is in your sons pocket". Sure enough, 2 more pocket dials later, We figure out that he has snuck it to school. The Ladies in the front office of the school got a good laugh out of it but Jonny did not. He is grounded for a whole week. Hopefully he won't be making that mistake again.

I don't really know how and when I became a mom. Okay, so I know when I became a mom in the physical sense, November 25, 2003, when I welcomed my first daughter Madilynn into the world. Being a mom though, unselfishly giving up "me" for the little treasures that hold my heart, not sure when that kicked in. Luckily motherhood came natural to me, when they were babies. I had always wanted to be a mom. I got married young at 19 and had My first daughter at 21. I spent all my teenage years babysitting and working at day cares so taking care of my newborn baby was second nature. It wasn't until they became toddlers and I started to have more children that I lost my "comes natural" attitude and replaced it with "what am I suppose to do" while shaking my head attitude. It's funny how motherhood changes or how you change when you become a mom. Before you are a mom and have had the first hand experiences of raising a baby to toddler to child. You have all these assumptions you know like the pregnant mom who says "My life won't change to much". The way things will change is not anything you can tell someone. It's something they have to learn first hand. It's challenging, yet rewarding, Exciting but scary. Stressful and full of LOVE! I have learned so much about myself and about life, through my children. They have a way of shinning a light on what is important. I wouldn't trade this journey of motherhood for anything in the world!
